lost drums after gig at Foster Park, Kokomo
Description
i was packing up after a small neighborhood gig when the last note faded and the sun sank behind the trees. at about 6:45 p.m. on friday, i realized my drum kit had vanished from the stage area near Foster Park’s band shell in Kokomo, Indiana. it’s a three-piece set with a cherry-red sparkle finish, chrome hardware, and a lightning-bolt sticker on the bass drum. i’d just finished the final chorus and locked the drum case, thinking i had everything. i feel a mix of relief and worry—this kit isn’t just gear to me, it’s years of practice and memories. if someone found it, please message me through the site so i can come pick it up.

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.
