Red Yamaha 5-piece drum set
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I must have left my red Yamaha 5-piece drum set somewhere near the Palace Theatre on Lark Street in Albany after a quick rehearsal; I can't shake the feeling I left it in the parking lot behind the venue. It's a red lacquer finish kit with chrome hardware, a 22x18 kick, and a standard 12x9 rack tom, 16x16 floor tom, and a 14x5.5 snare. There are a couple of telltale marks: a small dent on the kick hoop and a blue lion sticker on the bass drum head. This kit is sentimental to me because it was a gift from my late father, and I really need it back to keep playing and gigging.

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.
