Violin in black case with bow
Description
I found a violin this afternoon around 2:15pm behind Summit Market on Main Street in High Rockies. It’s a full-size violin with a warm sunburst finish and a slightly worn chin rest. The case is a black hard-shell type with a small dent on the bottom edge, and a red rosin bag tucked inside the outer pocket. A mountain-goat sticker sits on the case, and inside there’s a label that reads 'Stentor Student II'—looks like a student model. I know this violin probably means a lot to someone; I’d like to get it back to its owner. If this is yours, please email [email protected] and we can arrange a pickup near Town Hall or the library.

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.
