Lost flutes in Yuba-Sutter, CA
Description
Hi, I am Jonathan Hayes. I misplaced my flutes after a late rehearsal last Friday in Yuba-Sutter. Around 6:45 PM I left the Marysville High School band room near 3rd Street and set my silver flutes on the hood of a car while I locked up. The two instruments are silver with subtle engravings along the lip plates, and one has a small dent near the foot joint that is easy to spot. I often practice by the Feather River in downtown Marysville, and I last spent a moment near the Library Park entrance by the stairs. I am worried they have wandered far; if you saw them, please let me know through the site.

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.
