Description
On Friday at 6:45 pm I was warming up for a recital outside the Cavern Club on Mathew Street when my sheet music binder slipped from my bag and I lost it amid the bustle. The blue binder is worn, with a red cover and a pencil tucked in the spine. It holds the pieces I’ve practiced for weeks, pieces I need for Sunday’s rehearsal, and tonight I’d barely started when it disappeared. The streetlights glittered on the River Mersey and I felt a knot in my stomach. I’m hoping someone nearby picked it up and will hold onto it for me; it feels like a piece of my heart is missing.

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.
