Lost synthesizers in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Description
Last Thursday around 4:30 PM, I realized my two synthesizers were missing from the rehearsal room on Market Street, near the Ferry Building in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. I had paused to print a few sheets and left the gear by a chair while I helped tidy cables, and when I turned back, they were gone. The bag held two compact analog synths, a power supply, and a tangle of patch cables. These aren’t just instruments—they’re my livelihood and my creative outlet. I’m devastated and just want them back. Please reach out through this site if you’ve seen them anywhere near that spot.

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.
