Sunburst ukulele with strap found near Bob Hope Theatre
Description
I found a sunburst soprano ukulele this afternoon around 3:15pm in front of the Bob Hope Theatre on Main Street, Stockton. It’s in decent shape, nylon strings feel a bit slack but playable, with a couple of light scratches along the back and a tiny chip near the edge of the sound hole. Inside the sound hole there’s a small blue sticker that reads 'Luna,' and the back of the headstock has a faded handwritten 'A. Rivera'—looks like someone’s initials. It seems like someone was just out practicing or busking nearby and left it behind by accident. If you’re the owner, I’d really like to get it back to you—tell me any other details about the instrument or the case and I’ll help reunite 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.
