Reunited - a Kodak love story
Posted Thursday, April 17, 2008, 6:38 PM by Lonely Planet
At home I'm pretty organised, but when I'm travelling it's like I become some bizarro dimwit version of myself who has had half her brain sucked out at 30,000 feet and I seem incapable of doing the most basic things like getting out of a cab with all my belongings.
So if you do ditz out and lose your camera while you're travelling, check out this website dedicated to reuniting found cameras and orphan photos with their rightful (if slightly embarrassed because they post some of the pictures) owners. And if you find a camera, you can email in a couple of shots off the memory card to post.
There's even been a hilarious internet furore associated with a lost camera being found and some kid with diabetes getting attached to it and the kid's parents refusing to give it back. Smellin' kinda hoaxy?
P.S Charlie's blog has got a good tip about adding a text file to your memory card with your contact deets on it so it can be returned to you if you lose it.

I was once a camera lost & found person. My husband and I were visiting Plymouth Plantation in Plymouth, MA. I went to the ladie's room and set my camera down on the sink and proceeded to walk out without it. I realized as we were walking around that it was gone. I was really upset about the loss. Before we left I checked the ladie's room again - no camera = no surprise. We stopped at the information desk and asked for lost & found. There was my camera! Thanks to the person who turned it in and saved my trip!
