Black Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones with green sticker
Description
I lost my black Sony WH-1000XM4 wireless headphones yesterday around 3pm. They were near the Covent Garden Royal Opera House, outside the entrance on Bow Street, maybe by the bus stop on Catherine Street. The headphones are in good condition but have a small dent on the right earcup from a fall last month. There's a lime-green sticker with the initials 'PR' on the headband, a unique feature that should help identify them. They came with a grey fabric carrying case with a red zipper. They are really sentimental to me, they were a gift from my sister and I really need them back for daily commutes; if someone found them, I would be grateful to hear from you so we can arrange a drop-off at the Covent Garden Lost & Found.

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.
