Found sheet music near Milwaukee Public Market
I was tidying a corner outside Colectivo Coffee at 6:15 p.m. on a Tuesday when I spotted a crumpled bundle of sheet music wedged under a bench by the Milwaukee Riverwalk. The pages rustled in the breeze, a coffee ring darkening the top sheet, and someone’s tempo marks penciled in the margins. It felt like a tiny voice asking to be returned to its owner. I slid the sheets into a folder and stood watch for a moment, hoping the owner would recognize it. I’ll keep it here safe until it’s claimed.
Sunburst Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar
I lost my sunburst Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar yesterday around 3pm near the Milwaukee Public Market on Broadway in the Third Ward. It's a dreadnought with a glossy sunburst finish, rosewood fingerboard, and a small chip on the lower bout by the edge. The guitar is in good condition otherwise, with light fret wear and a worn leather strap attached to the strap button. Inside the soundhole there's a sticker from the Milwaukee Dwellers Club. This guitar is sentimental to me—my dad handed it down, and I really need it back.
Gold lacquer trumpet with initials, lost near Milwaukee Public Market
I lost my gold lacquer Yamaha trumpet yesterday around 3pm near the Milwaukee Public Market on Third Street in the Third Ward. It's a full-size trumpet (YTR-2330) with a couple of small dents in the bell and a slightly tarnished slide, but it still plays. The bell has my initials 'A.J.' engraved, and inside the black case there's a bright red cleaning cloth and a folded photo of my late grandfather tucked in the pocket. This instrument was a gift from him, and I really need it back for upcoming gigs; it means a lot to me and I’m stressing about rehearsals. If you found it, please drop it at the Milwaukee Public Market information desk or message me here—I'd be forever grateful.
Red Ludwig snare drum with blue repair sticker
I lost my red Ludwig snare drum yesterday around 3pm near the Milwaukee Public Market on Water Street. It's a 14x5.5 inch stainless-steel shell with a glossy red sparkle finish and chrome hardware. There's a minor dent on the rim at the 3 o'clock position and a blue repair sticker from a local drum shop on the inside. It has sentimental value for me and I really need it back for gigs; I practice every night and it's my main snare. If anyone picked it up, please reach out — I can offer a small reward.
Red violin with bow, case missing near Milwaukee Public Market
I lost my red violin with bow and case yesterday around 3pm near the Milwaukee Public Market on Water Street. It's a full-size 4/4 violin with a warm red-orange varnish, spruce top, and a maple back with a subtle flame. There's a tiny chip on the lower bout and a scratch along the scroll; inside the f-hole is a small label with my initials 'PK.' The case is black with a soft brown velvet lining and a scuffed leather handle. This violin means a lot to me—it's been a gift from my former mentor, and I really need it back.
Found Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar
I found a Yamaha FG800 acoustic guitar this afternoon around 3:15pm, tucked in a black soft gig bag behind the Milwaukee Public Market on Water Street, near the riverfront. The guitar is a natural finish dreadnought, with a few light scratches on the lower bout and a small dent on the headstock, but otherwise in good condition. There’s a bright blue strap peeking out from the case and a sticker of a Milwaukee Brewers logo on the inside of the lid, which helped me spot it again. I know someone must be missing this, and I’d love to get it back to its owner. If this sounds like yours, reply here and we’ll coordinate a meetup near the market or Cathedral Square.
