Lost sheet music near Woodward Park, Fresno
Description
May 18, 2025, around 4:30 PM, I left a folder of sheet music on a bench near the east entrance of Woodward Park in Fresno while taking a quick break from rehearsal at Fresno City College. The folder is black with a purple cover, and inside are several pages of scales and arpeggios, with a pencil tucked between the pages. The trees rustled and a light breeze carried a hint of dust from the park path; my heart sinks when I think someone might have walked off with it. I would be grateful for its safe return, and I hope whoever found it knows how much it means. If you found it, please return it to the park office or leave it near the entrance.

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.
