Description
I lost my silver Yamaha flute yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on 6th Avenue in Amarillo. It's a student model, with a small dent on the foot joint and initials LH engraved near the lip plate. The hard case is black with a blue ribbon tied around the zipper and a tiny sticker of a cat on the lid. The flute was a gift from my late aunt and means a lot to me; I was practicing for an audition when it disappeared. If anyone found it, please reach out—I can describe the dent and initials to verify it's mine.

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.
