Sunburst Taylor 214ce with UM sticker
Description
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my sunburst Taylor 214ce acoustic guitar was missing. I last had it near the Missoula Public Library on East Main Street after a quick practice break. It’s a Taylor 214ce with a glossy sunburst finish, a small dent on the lower bout, and a frayed blue strap still looped through the strap pins. There’s a tiny UM sticker on the headstock and a faint scratch along the pickguard from years of playing. It means a lot to me as it was a gift from my grandmother and I’d really appreciate getting it back if you’ve seen it. You can reach me at [email protected].

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.
