Description
Last Friday around 9:15 PM, I realized my sheet music was lost from my tote as I sat on a bench in Ithaca Commons, just outside the State Theatre. It is a stack of clean, crinkled pages, Bach on top, then my own composition, with a coffee ring near the corner. I had rehearsal early the next morning at the School of Music, and that music meant more to me than a few notes. If anyone picked it up, please let the site know I am hoping it can be returned to its proper page.

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.
