Black Sony camera with yellow strap, Beale Street area
Description
Yesterday around 6:30pm I realized my compact black Sony point-and-shoot camera was missing after leaving a show at Beale Street Landing and walking toward the riverfront near the Orpheum Theatre. It's a palm-sized camera with a matte black body and a silver ring around the lens. It has a bright yellow nylon strap and a Memphis sticker on the protective case; there are a few scratches on the top left corner from travel this summer. This camera holds a lot of family photos and random moments from last year, and it really felt sentimental to me. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back. It's filed under the Other Miscellaneous Items category.

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.
