When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Found at Versailles, France, on Jan. 3, 2011. Everything was closed, otherwise I would have turned in the camera. The memory card has photos of what looks like a vacation including Germany, Rome, and other areas in Europe.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

I found this camera while touring Versailles, France on Jan. 3, 2011. The camera was lying on the gravel road.

The time of day was at sunset. The language on the camera was in German. I changed it to English so I could look at the directions. This SD card shows about 100-150 photos, which appear to be from a vacation tour of Europe that includes Rome, France, Versailles Palace, and other areas I am not familiar with.

Lessons Learned

  • I've learned to take a snapshot of my personal information on my camera so if lost, it could be returned to me.
