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

I lost my Canon PowerShot digital camera.

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

Brand: Canon

Model: PowerShot SD1100 IS 8MP digital camera with 3X optical zoom

Color: Classified as brown, but it looks more like a dark metallic brownish purple

Does the Camera Have Any Identifying Marks?

No, just lots of pictures in memory

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

Phone: (415) 531-3631

I also will give a reward and, at this point, they can keep my camera. I just want my memory card, no questions asked.

When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Date: Saturday Oct. 15, 2010, however, technically, it was the 16th since it was between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Location: Las Vegas, Nev.

It was lost in a taxi cab. I was picked up from the Krave Nightclub at Planet Hollywood and dropped off at the Tao Nightclub at the Venetian. The camera was left in the cab between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m.

I took my camera out of my purse to pay for the cab and, like a dummy, left the camera on the seat.

I, unfortunately, did not get the cab name or number. :(

My camera did not have any identifying marks. Unfortunately, I lost a ton of awesome pictures, tons of memories.

Lessons Learned

  • If you ride in a cab always check seats to be sure nothing is left behind.
  • Ask cab driver for receipt, ask driver to write cab number and cab company name on it.
  • Put a label on camera with your phone number in the event it is lost.
