Pair of Vic Firth 5A drumsticks with red tips
Description
Hey, I lost my pair of Vic Firth 5A drumsticks this afternoon, around 3pm. They’re maple, about 16 inches long, and both sticks show light wear but are otherwise in decent condition. One stick has a bright red tip and a tiny dolphin sticker near the butt; the other has a plain black tip. I think they slipped out of my backpack pocket while I was leaving the Saenger Theatre area on Dauphin Street, downtown Mobile, around 3pm. They’re not expensive, but they mean a lot to me because I use them for weekly gigs and practice. If anyone found them around the blocks near Bienville Square or in front of the theater, please let me know—I’d really appreciate getting them back. They’ve got sentimental value as they’ve helped me through a tough year.

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.
