Red Kala KA-15S ukulele with stickers
Description
I lost my red Kala KA-15S ukulele yesterday around 3pm outside the Whole Foods Market on Lemmon Avenue in Dallas. It's a compact soprano size with a satin red finish, and it wears a bright green cactus sticker on the back plus a blue polka-dot strap that's frayed at the ends. The neck has a small lacquer crack near the headstock, but the instrument still plays and sounds bright when strummed. This ukulele has sentimental value—my mom gave it to me last year before she moved away—and I really want it back if someone found it. If you happened to see it or picked it up by mistake, please message me and I’ll swing by to collect it.

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.
