Blue 14-inch snare drum found near Main Street Library
Description
I found a blue 14-inch snare drum this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Lynchburg Public Library on Main Street. The shell is a matte blue with a small dent on the rim and a few scuffs along the edge; chrome hardware shows some wear and the head looks a bit loose but still in playable shape. It lives in a black padded gig bag that has a bright neon green panda sticker and the zipper pull is scratched with the initials 'AJ'. I know how easy it is to misplace gear you use for practice and gigs, so I kept it safe in my car and I would really like to help it find its owner. If this is yours, describe the sticker detail or the dent on the rim and the bag’s zipper pull.

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.
