Lost sheet music near Waterside District, Hampton Roads
Description
Last night, around 7:05 PM, I left my sheet music on a bench outside the Norfolk Waterside District after a quick rehearsal. The pages are for a recital next week and include a few pencil markings I’m nervous about losing. I searched the area around Granby Street and the library steps, then walked the sidewalks again hoping a passerby had picked up the sheets, but the night was busy and loud. I’d be so grateful to have them back; they’re not just pages but part of the program I’m building with my ensemble. If you found a worn stack of sheet music with a highlighted page three, please let the site know.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting

Meet in a safe, public place

- 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
