LOST: Flutes in Mohave County
Description
I was practicing scale runs at the Kingman Community Center in Mohave County, Arizona, on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. when I realized my flute case was missing. Inside are two flutes: a silver concert flute with a tiny dent near the lip plate and a light wooden beginner flute in a black case with a blue strap. I combed the main hall, checked my car in the lot, and retraced the routes by the exits, but nothing turned up. These instruments carry years of lessons and late-night recitals, and I’m heartbroken they might be gone; if you found them near the Kingman Library entrance or around the plaza, please help me bring them home.

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.
