Found mint-green ukulele with striped strap
Description
I found a mint-green ukulele with a black-and-white striped strap yesterday around 4pm behind the CMU Student Union on University Avenue, just off Main Street in Mount Pleasant. It’s a soprano-sized instrument in decent shape, with a small dent on the lower bout and a shiny gloss finish. There’s a white Kala label on the headstock and a tiny pineapple sticker tucked inside the soundhole, which makes it easy to identify. The strings feel fairly new and it sounds surprisingly bright when I strum it. If you know who this belongs to, I’d be happy to drop it at the Union desk or meet nearby for pickup.

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.
