Red Pearl snare drum with stickered shell
Description
I lost my red Pearl snare drum yesterday around 3pm near Lake Eola Park's fountain in downtown Orlando. It's a 14x5.5 inch snare with a bright red lacquer shell and chrome hardware; the drumhead has a small dent and a coffee stain from a long rehearsal. I think I left it on the bench by the swan boats dock after a quick practice break while I was heading to the bus stop. This drum is sentimental—it was a gift from my dad and has been with me through several marching band seasons. There's a white sticker on the bottom hoop with our high school's insignia and a tiny Sharpie signature inside the shell that I use as identifying marks. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting 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.
