Black Sony Handycam with gray case
Description
I lost my black Sony Handycam HDR-CX405 yesterday around 3pm near the Chevron on Adams Ave and 34th St in Northeast SD. It's tucked inside a gray neoprene carrying case, and the cam's screen protector has a tiny crack. There’s a white sticker on the battery with the initials 'A.F.' and a small green dot sticker on the cam body for easy identification. The footage inside is irreplaceable to me—family trips and my grandmother’s birthday videos—so it feels really urgent to get it back. If anyone picked it up, I’d be grateful to retrieve it from the Northeast SD Community Center or arrange drop-off.

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.
