Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones found near Capitol Albany
Description
Found a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones, matte black, sitting on the sidewalk outside the Capitol building near State Street around 11:15 this morning. They’re in decent condition, with the right earcup a touch shinier from wear and a small crack where the plastic meets the headband. They came in a dark gray carrying pouch with a red drawstring, and tucked inside is a blue USB-C cable and a tiny star sticker on the pouch. The cushions are still comfy and the noise-canceling works well; I figured someone probably spent good money on these and I’d like to help get them back to the owner.

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.
