Novation Launchpad Mini MIDI controller found in Brighton
Description
Found a black Novation Launchpad Mini MIDI controller this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Brighton Dome on New Road. It's compact, about the size of a paperback, with an 8x8 grid of blue LEDs and a couple of light scratches along the corner. There's a tiny orange sticker on the back that says "Brighton Music Lab" and a blue silicone skin wrapped around it to protect the edges. It clearly belonged to someone who uses it for gigs or rehearsals, and I'd hate for it to get lost again. If this sounds like yours, drop me a line with the sticker detail or the exact pattern on the LED grid.

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.
