Blue Yamaha Stage Custom snare drum, lost
Description
I lost my blue Yamaha Stage Custom snare drum, 14x5.5, inside its gray hard shell case with a red handle, yesterday around 3pm. I was at the Grand Sierra Resort on East 2nd Street, near the valet drop-off, when I last saw it outside the entrance. The drum has a glossy electric blue finish, chrome hardware, and a small dent on the outer rim; there’s a round sticker with a mountain silhouette on the shell and a Reno Jazz Fest 2022 sticker inside the case. Inside the pocket are two Vic Firth 5A sticks. It was a gift from my mom and is my main gig drum, so 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.
