Description
Last Friday around 7:15 PM, I was at the downtown library on Colorado Ave, tucked in near the reading room, when I set my sheet music on a table and stepped out for a quick coffee run. When I returned, the binder with loose sheets and pencil markings for a Bach piece was gone. The binder is bright yellow with a few creases, and it holds pages for an upcoming recital that means a lot to me. I’ve checked the cafe, the stacks, and the lobby, and a few patrons said they didn’t see it, but I won’t give up hope. Losing it has me anxious about the program next month.

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.
