Description
Found a small purple concert ukulele in a black padded gig bag this afternoon around 3:15pm in the parking lot behind the Walmart on 6th Street in Pittsburg, Southeast KS. The instrument is a starter model with a faint fade on the finish, and there's a bright blue star sticker on the headstock. A brown strap is threaded through the ring, and the zipper on the bag sticks a bit. It seems like something a student would own, maybe someone heading to an open mic tonight. If this is yours, tell me the make or any identifying sticker and I’ll get it back to you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
