Description
I lost my red Pearl snare drum, 14x5, yesterday around 3pm. It was outside Bell's Eccentric Cafe on East Kalamazoo Ave near Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo. The shell is cherry red with a couple of small dings on the rim and a blue five-point star sticker on the front. Inside the shell, someone scribbled 'MK' in black sharpie. This drum means a lot to me—it's the one I learned on and it was a gift from my dad; I really need it back for our next gig. If you found it, please drop me a line.

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.
