Black Sony digital recorder with leather case
Description
I misplaced my black Sony digital audio recorder with a brown leather case after a gig yesterday around 7pm. It's about the size of a small paperback, matte black body with a silver mic grille, and the bottom-right corner has a little dent. The leather case has initials EG etched on the flap and a thin green wrist strap. I last saw it outside the Butte-Silver Bow Public Library on Main Street, near the crosswalk by the bus stop, before heading to my car. This thing is my work tool and carries interviews I've been compiling; it really matters to me and I'd be grateful to get it back.

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.
