Korg microKORG synth with orange panel
Description
I lost my Korg microKORG synth—the orange front panel and black body—yesterday around 3pm. It's the 37-key version with a built-in vocoder, and the orange panel is pretty distinctive. I was in downtown Fairbanks, outside the Starbucks on College Road near the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, when I must've set it down on a bench and walked off. It means a lot to me; I use it for gigs and demo recordings, and I saved up for it after a long year. Please keep an eye out for it; it also has a blue painter's tape label on the back with my initials 'P.P.' in case someone grabs it. If found, I’d be incredibly grateful to get it back as soon as possible.

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.
