FOUND: Sheet Music near Center Street, Riverfront Park
Description
I found a stack of sheet music under a bench on Center Street by Riverfront Park this morning around 9:15 a.m. The papers are well‑loved—sticky notes in pencil marks, cramped tempo numbers, and a page torn at the edge. There are pieces for piano, some for guitar, and a coffee‑stained receipt tucked between the pages. The folder is worn, a bit damp from last night’s drizzle, the cover showing the name 'L. Chen' in faded ink. It felt personal, like someone was between practice sessions and a recital. I left them on the bench where I found them, hoping the owner or a kind passerby would recognize the music and claim them soon.

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.
