Found Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller near Barbican, Plymouth
Description
I found a compact black Akai MPK Mini MK3 MIDI controller this afternoon around 4pm, tucked behind the Mayflower Steps on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon. It's a 25-key keyboard with eight backlit pads and a USB-C port, and it came with a short USB-C cable still coiled underneath. The back has a blue sticker that reads 'Studio 54' and there's a tiny dent on the top edge with a faint coffee stain near the knobs. It looks well used but solid, and I can imagine it belongs to someone who uses it for gigs or home recording. If this is yours, email me at [email protected] with any detail that proves ownership (the model, the sticker, or the exact features).

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.
