Description
I found a small black metronome this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Cedar Rapids Public Library on 3rd Ave SE. It's about the size of a deck of cards, with a plastic black body and a bright green LED display that lights up when it ticks. There's a tiny scratch along the top edge and a sticker on the back that says 'Music Club.' It's in decent condition and seems to be working. If this belongs to you, describe the back sticker text or any identifying marks to claim it. Happy to help get it back to its owner.

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.
