Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones lost near Albany Capitol
Description
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm outside the State Capitol on State Street in downtown Albany. They're matte black, with a few scuffs on the right earcup and a tiny dent near the left hinge; the Sony logo on the outside still catches the light. They came in a slim black protective case with a slightly bent zipper pull, and I slid in a white USB-C charging cable and a microfiber cloth. I even had initials 'PP' engraved on the inside of the headband as a quick ID. They were a gift from my sister, and I really need them back for work and daily commutes.

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.
