Description
I'm Sam Rivera. I found a drum set outside the Birmingham Museum of Art around 4:00 PM today, tucked behind a bench near the fountain on 3rd Avenue North. It’s a five-piece maple kit with a red sticker on the bass drum that reads 'Joey', and a dent in the snare with chrome hardware that shines when the sun hits it. The cymbals show some wear, and a small bag with drumsticks is tucked under the ride. I left it by the museum steps, near the Birmingham Civil Rights District, hoping the owner sees this post.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
