‘This is not my camera’: Woman trusts camera repair shop in LA with family heirloom but the camera they return sets alarm bells ringing

TikToker Kai George found a 1960s vintage film camera, posting the find to Threads, where she was met with tons of positive feedback from others who told her that her camera was a “prized possession” and that she should never sell it.
