Lost & found percussion instruments in Lima / Findlay

Found drums by Riverside Park, Findlay

I was walking my dog near Riverside Park in Findlay around 6:20 PM on a Tuesday when a lone drum set tucked behind a bench caught my eye. The black shell case looked weathered, sticks poked out from inside, and a faded sticker read L. Ortiz on the drum-head ring. I checked for a tag or note, but there was nothing. It seemed cared for, not abandoned, and the bass drum head still had a clean feel beneath the dust. I slid it into the lobby of the Findlay Public Library, hoping the owner would recognize it there. It felt like a bit of luck to happen upon it, like a heartbeat returning to someone who plays.
