Lost keyboards in Kalamazoo area
Description
I was at the Kalamazoo Public Library's downtown branch around 2:34 PM on Tuesday when I realized my two keyboards were missing from my desk. They’re both standard black keyboards, sturdy and well worn from long nights of typing, one with a red USB-C cable and the other with a blue one—easy to tell apart when they’re on my studio setup. Losing them throws a wrench into deadlines and classwork, and I’ve been fretting over how to replace them. I retraced my steps to Bronson Park and the campus cafe, asked staff and patrons, but no luck. If found, please let me know via the site so we can reunite them.

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.
