Description
At 8:15 PM Friday, I realized my violin was gone from the bench near the SkyWheel along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. It’s the old instrument my grandmother gave me, and it means the world to me when I play it. I walked the Boardwalk from the arcades to the ferris wheel, but the violin case was nowhere to be seen. I’m hoping someone found it and kept it safe; it’s more than an instrument to me, it’s a memory I’m clinging to.

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.
