Description
On Tuesday at 7:18 p.m., I found a set of synthesizers in a padded gig bag tucked under a bench behind the Ashtabula Arts Center on Main Street. The weight surprised me, and the glow from the knobs suggested someone relies on these tools for something real. I pulled them out and checked the labels—nothing obvious, just a few stickers and a tag with a band name. I carried them to a safe spot and kept them warm in my apartment while I hoped the owner would see this post and claim them. It pains me to think of gear left behind, especially in Ashtabula, Ohio, United States.

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.
