Description
I was walking back from a rehearsal in the Eastman Theatre area on Gibbs Street when I spotted a crumpled stack of sheet music on a bench by the sidewalk. I picked it up and saw the front cover with the title 'Moonlight in D' and a name penciled inside: 'Alex Carter.' It clearly belonged to someone else, and I felt a sense of responsibility to return it. I tucked the music into my jacket and started this post because it felt right to reunite it with its owner. If you recognize it or notice the same handwriting, please get in touch through the site.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
