Description
I found a small silver Canon point-and-shoot camera this afternoon around 2:15pm behind the Champlain Centre mall near the Old Navy entrance. It's palm-sized, housed in a slightly scuffed black case, with a diagonal scratch across the screen and a blue sticker with the initials 'KD' on the back. The memory card lid sticks a bit, and there's a faint dent on the bottom edge, but the camera still powers on and shoots fine. If the owner sees this, I'd love to get it back—email me at [email protected] to arrange a pickup near the Plattsburgh Public Library on Court Street.

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.
