Gloss black Yamaha snare drum with blue star sticker
Description
I lost my gloss-black Yamaha snare drum yesterday around 3pm. It's a 14x5.5 inch model with chrome hardware and a tiny dent on the rim. I think I might have left it near the North Market entrance on High Street in downtown Columbus, maybe on a bench by the market side door. There’s a small blue star sticker on the shell near the throw-off, easy to spot if you’re familiar with it. This drum means a lot to me—it was a gift from my grandfather and I’ve played it at almost every gig for years. If anyone found it, I’d be beyond grateful to get it back; please message me or drop it at the North Market security desk.

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.
