Lost sheet music from Aberdeen practice room.
Description
Friday around 4:15 p.m., I was in Aberdeen, near the Brown County Courthouse and the Dakota Theatre on Main Street, when I left a folder on a chair in the Aberdeen High School band room. The folder holds my concert sheet music for the upcoming recital—Moonlight Sonata, scales, and a few pencil-marked reminders. The blue cover is frayed at the spine, and there's a coffee stain on the corner. I’ve been pacing between the rehearsal room and the downtown area, hoping someone picked it up and tucked it away somewhere safe. Losing these pieces feels personal because they’re tied to my senior recital and long hours of practice.

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.
