Description
I found a red Pearl snare drum this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Detroit Public Library on West Fort Street, in the Detroit Metro area. It's a 14x6.5 inch snare with a glossy lacquer, chrome hardware, and a white batter head; there are a few scratches and a tiny dent on the rim. Inside the shell is a sticker with the initials 'JM' and a green music-note sticker on the back, plus two spare sticks tucked in the drum case. It looks like it could belong to a student or local band, and I'd love to see it back with its owner.

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.
