Stolen!

[whitneyNC]

My dh's expensive Oakleys were left in Phillharmagic. He went back for them almost immediately and one cm said she saw another pick them up, but couldn't remember which one? They never turned up at lost and found. It stinks to lose stuff/have stuff taken. Pictures on a camera can't be replaced. Hope it gets returned.

So sorry that you do not have your camera yet, please know there is still kindness in the world. We were in WDW a few weekend back for a quick trip that was very unplanned, so when DD and I left we took CASH, which I never carry, I also left my wallet in the adidas outlet store, to return to the store to find someone turned it in ..... with a ALOT in cash!!! So my hopes are high that in a few days something will turn up for you

Well, it's Monday and we're in NC. As of yesterday morning it had still not been turned in.

Don't give up!! One trip DDthen8 left her backpack sitting on a counter, she also lost her hat. We went to L & F and filled out reports, we got a hat in the mail after our return, it wasn't her hat so we called DL and they told us to keep it so we did. So we got the hat, not the backpack with her money or her school ID but that's not the point of my story. While filling out our report the couple in front of us were heartbroken, on their honeymoon and they had put the camera down while dining and didn't pick it back up on the way out. They each thought the other had grabbed it. They filled out their report and the CM walked back and came out with their camera, they were so happy!!!!! The new bride cried and couldn't stop thanking the CMs She even asked if they knew who had turned it in, she said it had been 4 days earlier and they were leaving the following morning and thought for sure it was gone but they decided to try back anyway and there it was. Of course the CMs didn't know who had turned it in but the happy couple was truly happy that day. Don't give up!! You might get it back when you last expect it.

To the pp who suggested taking a pic of your contact info for the memory card, what a GREAT idea!!! I am so doing that! Thanks!

I'm so sorry you lost your camera and I hope it turns up.

On our last trip to WDW we were in the bus area of POFQ and there was a grocery sack (plastic bag) sitting on the bench. There was no one around, DS picked up the bag and inside was a very nice Nikon Digital of some sort. We didn't hesitate, DS ran it to the front desk immediately. It has been a couple of years and I always wondered if the camera was returned to it's owner, I certainly hope so.

Keep checking

I'm so sorry this happened to you! We had almost the exact same thing happen to us in September. We got off the bus with our two strollers, three kids (including one infant 10 weeks old), diaper bag and our camera bag accidentally got left. We realized it immediately and called the bus but it was gone. We lost our Canon Rebel XT, an 18-55 kit lens, a 75-300 zoom lens, my cell phone charger, an extra battery and battery charger for the camera, and three memory cards. But the worst thing was that we were 5 days into a 7 day trip and lost all of our pictures. It really bothered me that someone was walking around with pictures of our children (I'm sure they erased the memory cards as soon as possible but still for some reason bothered me). And I hate the fact that we have almost no pictures of this trip! We called lost and found and filed a report and no one ever turned it in. My DH even went into the Lost and Found - nothing. Hope you have better luck! But I do believe that in the end karma will get those people!

The fact that you were in WDW where someone could easily turn it it might be bad (however, some people might not realize the extent of WDW's lost and found).

However, the point of my post is that in 2007, about 2 months after getting home from WDW, MY DH left my camera at a theatre where we were at a Dance Competition. I did not even realize it until about 2 days later. It was in a city 2.5 hours from us, but he happened to be going that way to a meeting. He stopped at looked everywhere, no luck. I cried and cried because it had some pictures I had not uploaded yet. Figured we would never see it again. Fast foward to November (8 months later). I get a call from my DD's dance studio. (They knew I had lost my camera). Anyway, a man from the Dance Competition company had called and he had a camera. It had been sitting on his desk for awhile as he could not figure whose it was and the person who turned it in forgot to tell which city in the USA it had come from. He spent time going through my camera and found a picture of my son with his school sweatshirt on. He Googled it and came up with the closest dance studio and HE FOUND US. We got the camera, card, etc. all back. It was amazing. (Kind of scary how easy it is to track a kid, though).

Anyway, just keep faith. Maybe, just maybe, someone will do the same for you. I hope so and I hope someone like him found your camera and is trying to figure out how to return it.
