Description
I was packing up after a small community music class near 7th Street and Van Buren around 3:30 pm yesterday when I realized my xylophones were missing from the storage rack. I retraced the block toward Roosevelt Row and checked the carport behind the building, but nothing turned up. They’re two bright wooden xylophones with painted edges and one dented bar; the mallets are bright red. This means a lot to the kids I teach, and I’m hoping someone who saw something near the Phoenix Public Library or along Central Avenue kept them safe.

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.
