Lost synthesizers in Beacon, Hudson Valley
Description
Last Saturday around 9:15 p.m., I was wrapping up a jam session at a friend's studio on Main Street in Beacon when I realized my synthesizers weren’t there anymore. I had them set on a chair by the window facing the Walkway Over the Hudson. They’re in a black flight case with a gray modular and a blue patch cable snaking out; one sticker reads Bear Mountain if you know it. The room smelled like solder and coffee, the kind of night that makes you chase a sound you can’t bear to lose. I have a gig next weekend and I need those synths back. If you found them, please message me on the site so we can arrange pickup near the river.

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.
