Canon EOS M50 camera with red strap
Description
I was shooting a community charity event yesterday around 3pm, and my Canon EOS M50 slipped from my hand in the parking lot outside Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center on 17th Street in Idaho Falls. It’s a black body with the 15-45mm kit lens; there are a few light scratches on the bottom plate and the screen protector has a tiny bubble. It’s on a bright red neoprene strap with my initials 'PK' in white, and the lens cap is engraved 'PK-104'. It holds personal project photos from last year and has sentimental value. If someone found it, I’d really appreciate getting 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.
