Description
I was packing up after a quick street performance at Riverfront Park by Monroe Street in Albany on Saturday at 2:15 p.m. when I realized my two guitars weren't by the bench anymore. The guitars are a sunburst Stratocaster in a worn gig bag and a shiny black hollow-body with a sticker that reads 'Georgia Blues' on the strap. The bag is frayed at the zipper and carries a faint guitar-polish scent. This means more to me than music; it connects me to my late grandfather who taught me to play. If someone found them, I’d be forever grateful to be re-united through the site.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
