Found: Guitars in Bowling Green downtown
Description
I found two guitars in a soft case under the awning near Fountain Square in downtown Bowling Green around 6:15 p.m. last Sunday after a pop-up market. They looked well cared for, with a few stickers on the body and a light scratch on the back of one neck. There are no visible identifying marks, and both guitars are in decent tune, as if someone set them down for a quick break. I left a temporary note under the seat of the bench nearby and brought them to a safe spot, hoping the rightful owner would claim them through the site. If these are yours, message me here and we'll coordinate through the site.

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.
