Pearl midnight blue 14x5.5 snare drum
Description
I was jamming yesterday around 5:30pm outside The Grand 1894 Opera House on The Strand in Galveston when my Pearl snare drum slipped from my rolling cart and vanished. It's a 14x5.5 inch steel-shell snare, color midnight blue with chrome hardware, and it has a small dent on the rim plus a scuff on the bottom shell. A sticker reading 'Live Loud' is on the shell near the lugs, and there's a black drum bag with a red zipper that came with it, along with two blue drumsticks tucked into the bag. It means a lot to me; I practice every evening after work, and this drum is my main workout tool. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back so I can keep playing.

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.
