Description
I found a stack of sheet music this morning around 9:30 a.m. near the downtown entrance of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library and the steps leading to the Capitol grounds. The pages look like a choir collection, with a title page handwritten 'Brookside Community Choir' and a few notes penciled in the margins. There's coffee staining and a torn corner, which tells me someone was rehearsing not long ago. I picked it up and left it on the library desk, hoping to reunite it with its owner. If this sounds like yours, the pieces will be waiting there for you to claim.

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.
