Lost sheet music outside Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
Description
I lost a binder of sheet music outside the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on SW Broadway around 9:20 PM last Friday after a small rehearsal. I turned around to pick up a score I dropped near the entrance, but the evening crowd rolled in and the pages disappeared into the glow of streetlights. The binder is red with a sticker that says 'Portland Symphony' and a handful of worn notes I’ve practiced for months. Those sheets mean more than music to me; they’re tied to late-night practice and a hopeful performance. If you found it, please keep it safe for me to retrieve at the end of the week.

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.
