FS: !!! STOLEN SONY A1 ALERT – PLEASE WATCH OUT !!!
Item 1: SONY A1
Update April 27, 2026:
Hi all,
I wanted to close the loop on a situation I had posted about earlier.
My Sony A1 (Serial: S01-3372293-F), which was stolen during a Facebook Marketplace meetup, has been successfully recovered.
The camera was located at a pawn shop in Boston, and thanks to coordinated efforts between Wayland PD, Boston PD, and Framingham State University Police, it has now been returned to me.
I’m sharing this update so that anyone who may have noted the serial number earlier can be assured:
👉 This camera is no longer stolen and is fully accounted for.
I truly appreciate the support and vigilance of the photography community here, as well as the work done by law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions.
If anyone has any questions or had flagged this serial previously, feel free to reach out.
My camera was stolen tonight during a Facebook Marketplace meetup at a Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot in Wayland,MA around 5:55pm.
📷 Camera: Sony A1
📌 Serial Number: S01-3372293-F
The individual ran off with the camera and fled in a vehicle. A police report has been filed.
Description of individual: Black male, approx. mid-20s, around 5’10”, slim build, curly hair, wearing a dark grey sweatshirt with design and light grey sweatpants.
Vehicle: Beige Lexus mid-size SUV with Massachusetts plates.
This is a unique camera to me personally — it’s the same one I used to capture a well-known wildlife moment where a Great Gray Owl in the wild landed on my camera.
⚠️ If you see this camera listed for sale anywhere (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, local groups, etc.), please DO NOT purchase it — it is STOLEN PROPERTY. Buyers can verify the serial number on the camera body or in settings.
If you have any information or come across a listing, please message me or contact Wayland Police Department - Officer Joseph Mancuso (508-358-4721), [email protected]
Even a small tip could help. Please share if you’re local.
