Silver flute with pearl keys found near Decatur Square
I found a silver Yamaha student flute this afternoon around 2:15pm outside the Decatur Library on West Trinity Place. The instrument is in good shape, with pearl keys and a tiny dent on the bottom joint. The case has initials 'A.M.' written on the latch and a blue ribbon tied around the handle, which should help identify the owner. It clearly looks like it belongs to someone who plays in the school band or takes lessons, and it feels sentimental rather than just valuable. If this sounds like yours or you know who it might belong to, please get in touch—I'd love to get it back to its owner.
Black Yamaha snare drum with red star sticker
I lost my black Yamaha Stage Custom snare drum, 14x5.5 inches, yesterday around 3pm outside the Little Shop of Stories on Church Street in Decatur. The shell is matte black with a few light scratches and a noticeable dent near the top rim, plus a bright red star sticker on the badge that makes it easy to spot. This drum has been my go-to for every band rehearsal since college, and it carries a lot of sentimental value because it’s the main snare I rely on for gigs. I also have small blue painter’s tape marks along the shell from where I marked tuning adjustments, and the snare wires show a tiny rust spot near the edge. If you found it or know where it is, please reach out — it would mean the world to me.

Blue ceramic vase with hummingbird motif

I last saw it on a shelf by the window in my Decatur apartment, but I might have left it near the Decatur Square on Ponce de Leon Ave when I stepped out to grab a delivery.
