Black Akai MPK Mini MIDI keyboard lost
Description
I lost my black Akai MPK Mini MIDI keyboard yesterday around 3pm. It's the 25-key version in a matte black body with an orange Akai logo on the top panel, and it lives in a gray soft-shell case that has a small dent on the bottom-right corner. I last had it while busking outside the Fargo Theatre on Broadway near 2nd Ave N, then wandered into nearby shops. It has sentimental value—my sister bought it for me last year and it's my main tool for demos, especially with an upcoming gig this week. Unique identifiers: a red sticker with my initials 'AO' on the backside and a tiny sticky residue on one of the keys. If found, I’d be really grateful to be reunited.

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.
