Description
I lost my red Kala soprano ukulele yesterday around 3pm near the West Side Market on W 25th St in Cleveland. It's in a black fabric gig bag with a white zipper, and the bag has a small green sticker with the initials 'AJ' on the front. The ukulele has a cherry-red satin finish, nylon strings, and a tiny dent on the bottom edge, plus a peeling sticker on the headstock that reads 'Music Is Life'. It means a lot to me because my sister taught me a few chords there, and I really need to get it back—if you spotted it around Ohio City or near Public Square, please reach out.

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.
