Share Your Story: Camera Lost and Found

From Lindsay

Did You Find a Camera? Or Did You Lose a Camera?

We lost a camera in a Chicago cab.

Describe the Camera, Such as Brand/Model/Color.

It is a black digital camera. It was my brother-in-law's camera, so I'm not so sure what the brand and model are.

Does the Camera Have Any Identifying Marks?

It was in a sleeve/pouch, but it may have slipped out.

How Should the Camera's Owner / Finder Contact You?

When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

We lost it in August of 2009.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

We were in a cab in Chicago, and when we got out, we realized it slipped out of a pocket. We called every cab company we could find and none had it. We are from Michigan, and it could have had pictures from home on the memory card. The photos were the most important thing to us, though the camera would be nice to have back as well. :)

Lessons Learned

  • Check your pockets every time you leave a cab, and always take down the cab ID number, just in case you leave something behind.
