Lost saxophones in Saginaw-Midland-Baycity area.
Description
I was wrapping up a late rehearsal around 7:45 PM on Friday near the Temple Theatre in downtown Saginaw-Midland-Baycity when I realized my saxophones weren't in my case. They’re my livelihood—a soprano, an alto, and a tenor—each with years of gigs and stories etched into the metal. I last had them backstage near the loading dock behind the stage door after we packed up. My heart sank as I scanned the dim corridor, then I walked the rear alley and checked the inventory room, praying someone had left them where they'd be safe. If you’ve seen them, please keep an eye out—the trio means everything to my music and my life.

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.
