a lost camera

How many people do you know who would go to this length to find an owner of lost property?

Sitting on the back seat was a nice Canon digital camera. Gunderson asked the driver which previous passenger might have left it, but the cabbie didn't seem to care. So Gunderson brought it home and showed it to her fiance, Brian Ascher. They decided that the only right thing to do was to find the owner.

But how?

I wouldn't call it going to lengths. More of a fun detective story.

Then again, I'm not the busy urbanite these two in the story are. Forgive me, but I think this story might have gotten the spike if they weren't a couple of young banker-lawyer types (maybe even if she were the banker and he the law student).

That's quite nice. It sounds like they enjoyed the search also.

My sister found a digital diary at a truck stop in Chicago and gave it to me. I called people in the address book until I found its owner, whereupon I mailed it to him. He said he'd given up all hope of finding it, and asked how it ended up in Colorado.
