Red Yamaha snare drum with black hardware
Description
I was packing up after a practice session yesterday around 3pm and must have left my red Yamaha snare behind near The Crown Liquor Saloon on Great Victoria Street, Belfast. It's a 14-inch snare with chrome hardware, bright red lacquer, and a few wear marks from gigging. There’s a small dent on the rim at 2 o'clock and a heart-shaped sticker on the inside shell that says 'Keep Grooving'—a tiny detail that helps me tell it apart. It also came with a black nylon strap tucked inside the case. This drum is sentimental to me, and I really need it back for upcoming gigs. If anyone found it, please contact me.

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.
