Found sheet music near the Eugene Public Library
Description
I was walking back from the Sunday farmers market and found this sheet music lying on a bench near the main entrance of the Eugene Public Library at 2:13 p.m. yesterday. The cover is a faded blue with the title 'Spring Serenade' handwritten in pencil, and inside there's a penciled note that says 'For Lily.' A few torn corners flutter when the breeze picks up. It felt personal, like someone had practiced for a recital and left it behind by mistake. I’m keeping it safe here, hoping the owner spots this listing and recognizes the music by its binding and the coffee cup ring on the corner.

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.
