Black 25-key MIDI keyboard found near Ithaca Farmers Market
Description
I found a black 25-key MIDI keyboard controller this afternoon around 3:15pm outside the Ithaca Farmers Market at Steamboat Landing on Cayuga Street, Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes. It looks like a compact, portable unit, lightweight and with matte black plastic and a bit of wear on the edges. There’s a small white sticker on the back with the initials 'KT' and a tiny dent along the top edge near the corner. It’s easy to carry in a small tote, so I’m guessing someone was practicing or setting up for a quick session and forgot it after shopping. If this is yours, drop me a message here and we can arrange pickup.

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.
