Lost memory cards near Panama City Marina
Description
I was wrapping up a quick street photography session around 6:15 p.m. on Friday, near the Panama City Marina along St. Andrews Street when I realized my memory cards were gone. I had them in a small gray pouch in the back pocket of my camera bag, and I must have brushed past a railing or dropped the pouch during a walk along the boardwalk. Those memory cards hold weeks of work from a recent shoot—final edits, unreleased RAW files, and a few client selects—so I’m sick at the thought of losing them. If anyone sees this and happened to find them, please know how much they mean to me; I’m hoping for a safe return.

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.
