Black Akai MPK Mini MIDI controller
Description
I lost my black Akai MPK Mini MKII USB MIDI controller yesterday around 3pm outside the Orpheum Theatre on Main Street in Memphis. It's a compact 25-key keyboard, black with a gray chassis, and it has a small dent on the bottom-right corner and a couple of scratches along the top edge. There’s a blue sticker of a mountain on the back and a Velcro strap attached to the bottom for quick pedalboard mounting. I rely on it for rehearsals and tiny gigs; it has sentimental value because I bought it after landing my first producer gig. If anyone found it, please reach out—I'm really hoping to get it back before next week's show.

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.
