Black Sony A6400 camera with orange lens cap
Description
I lost my black Sony A6400 mirrorless camera with a gray padded neck strap yesterday around 3:15pm after a quick shoot near the North Dakota State Capitol on 5th Street in Bismarck. The camera was inside a weathered black leather case, with an orange lens cap on the 16-50mm kit lens. There's a small blue sticker with my initials 'PP' on the bottom plate, and a SanDisk 128GB card tucked in the side pocket. This camera means a lot to me—it's not just gear, it was a gift from my dad and has sentimental value. I'm really hoping someone who found it can return it; I'll be forever grateful and can arrange a pickup or meet up in town.

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.
