Found silver compact camera with blue strap
Description
Found a small silver compact camera this afternoon around 2:15pm in the parking lot behind the Safeway on Main Street in Susanville. It's a Canon PowerShot with a blue fabric wrist strap and a noticeable scratch across the LCD. The bottom edge is engraved with the initials 'A.J.' and there’s a tiny dent on the left corner from a light drop. I picked it up near the bike racks by the coffee shop and kept it because it looked like it mattered to someone, maybe with photos in it. If you recognize it, reply with the model and the engravings to help verify ownership so it can be returned.

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.
