Sunburst electric guitar found near City Dock
Description
I found a sunburst Fender Stratocaster-style electric guitar this morning around 9:30am near City Dock along Market Street in Annapolis. It's in decent shape with a few small scratches on the body and a tiny chip on the edge of the headstock. The guitar has a black pickguard, three single-coil pickups, and a worn blue strap with white stars. On the back of the headstock there's a sticker with the initials 'JH', and inside the hard case I found a faded label reading KT-34. It sounded bright when I tapped it, and I figured someone might be missing it nearby. If this is yours, I can arrange a safe handoff for pickup or delivery to you in Annapolis.

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.
