Red Pearl 5-piece drum kit near Union Station
Description
I found a red Pearl 5-piece drum kit this afternoon around 2:30pm near Union Station in Kansas City. It's a deep cherry-red finish with gold hardware; the bass drum head has a small dent and there's a blue sticker with the initials 'DM' on the snare. The cymbals include two crashes and a ride by Zildjian, and the throne is black with a tear in the vinyl. I left the gear by the streetcar loading zone near the entrance to the KC Streetcar stop, hoping the owner will recognize it and come for it. If this is yours, please reply with the initials on the sticker and a rough description of the kit's cases to pick it up.

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.
