Black Zoom H4n Pro recorder in orange case
Description
I found a black Zoom H4n Pro portable audio recorder with a gray windscreen outside The Saenger Theatre on North Joachim Street in Mobile yesterday around 3pm. It's tucked in a bright orange protective pouch with a slightly frayed zipper and a small dent on the top corner. Inside the pouch I found a blue USB-C cable and a folded 'Crew – Mobile Film Lab' script page with a few notes in red ink. The case has a white sticker that reads 'Property of Film Club' and a faint fingerprint on the screen. It obviously belonged to someone filming nearby, and I’d really like to get it back to them.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
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.
