Description
Lost my midnight-blue Yamaha Stage Custom birch 5-piece drum set yesterday around 3pm. I was loading gear after practice in the parking lot behind the Kwik Shop on Main Street in Hays, KS, Northwest Kansas. The kit includes a 22" kick, 12" and 13" rack toms, a 16" floor tom, and a 14" snare, with a few scratches on the wrap and a faded phoenix decal on the bass drum hoop; there’s also a dent in the chrome snare stand and a worn red logo sticker on the rack toms. It was my late dad's kit and really means a lot to me; if you’ve seen it, text me a quick photo so I can confirm.

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.
