Black Canon EOS M50 with kit lens
Description
I lost my black Canon EOS M50 with the 15-45mm kit lens yesterday around 3pm near the Smoot Theatre on Market Street in downtown Parkersburg, part of the Parkersburg-Marietta area. It's a compact mirrorless camera in good condition, but the grip shows wear and there's a faint scratch near the lens mount. The strap has a red stripe, and there's a white sticker with my initials 'PP' on the bottom plate; the lens cap has a tiny dent. This camera is used for freelance shoots and family moments; it was a gift from my late aunt, so it has sentimental value. If you found it, shoot me a message here or at [email protected]—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.
