Lost sheet music near Exeter Central Library
Description
I lost my sheet music after a late practice outside Exeter Central Library. I was leaving the building at around 7:15 pm on Tuesday, walking toward Queen Street, when a worn black binder slipped from my bag onto the pavement. The binder is a matte-blue cover with a few creases and a pink sticker on the spine reading 'Beethoven.' Inside are pieces for a small recital, some Bach and Debussy, with notes in pencil along the margins. I'm anxious about the concert next week and fear the markings on the pages will be lost along with the binder. If you spotted a binder by the library steps or near the bus stop on Queen Street, please get in touch.

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.
