Lost sheet music in Wichita Falls
Description
I am Mason Brooks, and I lost my sheet music for tonight's set. I was at the Wichita Falls Public Library around 6:20 PM, in the second-floor study room by the piano practice area, when I realized my sheet music had vanished from my backpack. The folder held a dog-eared edition of a Chopin nocturne and a self-compiled chart for a local gig. I spent the next hour retracing steps through the stacks and near the circulation desk, but it didn't turn up. Those pages are my setlist and my confidence on stage, and I feel a tight knot in my chest without them. If you saw a black folder with red-binding in the vicinity of the library's music corner, please keep an eye out; it's tied to my schedule and means a lot to me.

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.
