When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Lost Feb. 4, 2011, between noon and 4 p.m.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

I left it on a bench at a tour stop overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. I believe the cliff is part of Marina County near Sausalito, Calif. It's the third overlooking stop if driving from below from San Francisco, Calif.

Lessons Learned

  • Buy a neck strap for your cameras. Also, put a tag on it with your info so if the person who found it is honest enough, he or she won't have a hard time tracking you down. I also learned that you can format your memory card to have a pop-up window showing your information to encourage the one who found it to return it to you.
