Lost keyboards near downtown Tucson
Description
I was midway through a small set at a cafe along Fourth Avenue in downtown Tucson around 5:30 p.m. when I realized my two keyboards weren't where I left them - on a padded bench outside the shop. The bigger one is a 61-key MIDI controller in a black case; the smaller is a lightweight 49-key practice keyboard in a gray cover. I set them there while I chatted with a friend and warmed up for an open-mic at the Courthouse Plaza. By the time I finished the chat, they were gone. This music gear keeps me practicing and gig-ready; losing them feels like losing my voice. If you remember seeing a black gig bag by Fourth Avenue or near the Tucson Museum of Art, please keep an eye out.

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.
