Description
I was heading home after a small gig Friday night, around 7:20 PM, near the C&O Canal Towpath trailhead in Williamsport, Western Maryland. My two synthesizers were in a black rolling flight case with a red pedalboard strapped on top. I must have left them in or near the car, and now they’re gone. The gear is essential to my sound—one of them has a blue tape mark on the corner and a sticker that reads 'Modular Mama.' I’m holding onto hope someone picked them up and understands they belong to a local musician who lives for these sounds.

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.
