Silver harmonica in red pouch with dented lid
Description
I’m a student who loves blues and yesterday around 3pm I lost my silver Hohner Special 20 harmonica in Morgantown. It’s in key C, about 4 inches long, with a small dent on the top cover and a faint scratch along the edge. It lives in a red nylon pouch with a white music-note print; there’s a tiny coffee stain on the pouch from a morning caffeine run. I think I dropped it near the WVU Student Union on University Avenue, maybe by the Mountainlair entrance or the campus bookstore, while I was rushing between classes. It’s sentimental to me since my grandfather taught me to play and it has stuck with me through many gigs. If you found it, please email me at [email protected] and I would be incredibly grateful to get it back.

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.
