Description
I lost my black Rode VideoMic Pro yesterday around 3pm. It was attached to my small DSLR rig and I was leaving the Barnes & Noble at MarketFair Mall on US-1 in Princeton, Central NJ. The mic has a white cat sticker on the windscreen and blue painter’s tape with my initials 'PS' on the bottom edge—hard to miss if you’re scanning gear. The windscreen is a bit frayed but the mic still works great; it’s essential for a little indie project I’m finishing up. I’m really hoping to get it back soon—this thing isn’t just gear, it’s kind of sentimental and I’ve got deadlines to meet.

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.
