Navy Yamaha snare drum in hard case
Description
I lost my navy Yamaha snare drum in a hard case yesterday around 3pm near Capitol Ave by the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne. It's a 14x5.5 inch steel shell with a blue finish and a few scratches from gigs, and the Yamaha logo is visible on the head. Inside the case are my Vic Firth 5A sticks and a crumpled receipt; the inside sticker has my initials 'PJ' scribbled in Sharpie, and there’s a small dent on the rim near the 3 o’clock position. This drum means a lot to me—was a gift from my old mentor and carries sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d really appreciate getting it back.

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.
