Description
I was playing a quick jam outside the New River Valley Mall Food Court yesterday around 3pm when I must've dropped my harmonica. It's a brass-colored Hohner Special 20, 14-hole, and it's tucked in a clear plastic case. The case has a small dent in the corner and a red heart sticker I put on years ago. My initials 'PK' are scratched on the metal edge, just under the lid. It’s been a sentimental piece ever since my aunt gave it to me before she passed away. I really need it back. If you spot it, email [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.
