Description
I lost my sunburst Taylor GS Mini yesterday around 3pm. It's in a black hardshell case with a neon blue star-pattern strap; the guitar has a natural spruce top with warm, dark back and sides and a small dent on the lower bout. There’s a distinctive compass-shaped inlay on the 12th fret. It was left in the parking lot behind the Osage Beach Premium Outlets along Osage Beach Parkway, in the Lake of the Ozarks area near the fountain by the food court; this guitar was a gift from my dad and means the world to me.

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.
