Red Yamaha 14x5.5 snare drum - lost
Description
I'm hoping someone picked up my red Yamaha snare drum, 14x5.5, after rehearsal yesterday around 3pm. I'm a drummer with the Jackson Community Band, and I used it for a gig at the Riverfront Arts Center on Main Street. It's in decent used condition, with a few stick marks, a small dent near the rim, and chrome hardware that's still shiny. The badge has a tiny green palm-tree sticker and a lanyard-style drum key strap tucked into the snare throw-off. It means a lot to me—this drum was my first real purchase and holds sentimental value, so I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who might have seen it near the Jackson Library or behind Jackson Music Supply around that time.

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.
