Lost: drums in Cape Cod / Islands, Massachusetts
Description
At about 9:15 p.m. on Monday, I realized my drums were missing from the corner of my cottage on Cape Cod, just a short walk from Nauset Beach in Eastham. It’s a small, home-made kit with a bright red finish on the bass and toms, and a few stickers that my nephew helped me decorate. Those nights of jamming with friends made this place feel like home, and losing the drums turned the living room into something quieter and emptier. If anyone happened to see a drum kit left near the Chatham Lighthouse or tucked behind a shed on Cape Cod, please let the folks listing know—hope to get them back where they belong.

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.
