Description
After a short set in Beacon’s Arts District on Main Street, I was packing up around 6:30 p.m. Friday and somehow left my two guitars on the sidewalk near the Walkway Over the Hudson on the Poughkeepsie side. I hurried back, but the cases were gone. One is a sunburst Telecaster-style with a chipped edge; the other is a black Strat-style with a missing jack plate. These guitars are my livelihood for the week, and losing them has me scrambling to keep up with rehearsals and gigs. If someone saw them or found them, I’d be grateful for any help returning them.

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.
