Description
Last Friday around 11:45 PM I was packing up after a late rehearsal near the Santa Maria Public Library on Broadway when I realized my two synthesizers were missing from my gig bag. The cases are black with a couple of stickers—the cat and the blue wave—so they’re pretty distinctive. I’ve retraced routes along Main Street and the Riverwalk and checked with venues and security at nearby hotels, but no sign yet. These machines aren’t just gear; they’re my sound for a tour in a couple of weeks, and I’m praying someone honest found them and kept them safe.

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.
