Found sheet music in Falls Park, Sioux Falls
Description
I found a sheet music stack under a bench outside Falls Park's gazebo in Sioux Falls at about 10:15 this morning. The pages were a little wrinkled, corners bent, and there was a pencil mark on the front page with a student’s name faintly legible. It looked like someone had been practicing for a recital, and then must have forgotten their music as they hurried off. I held onto the sheet music for a while, hoping to reunite it with its owner, and then placed it here for the site to pass along. I know how frustrating it is to lose a piece of your practice, and I’m glad to help reconnect it.

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.
