All you have to do is take some photos – which you never delete from your camera – so when someone finds your camera at the bottom of the gorilla pit they are able to locate you and return the lost property to its rightful owner. http://www.andrewmcdonald.net.au/a-picto...

I love this. - Nicholas Kreidberg
I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address. - Alex Scrivener
LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small? - Anika
At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =) - Anika
that was great.......lol - Valz 4 Botts
genius. - Morgan
I like how the facial expressions match the whiteboard :-) - Rene, Pro Button Pusher
The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it. - Alex Scrivener
Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was. - Hookuh Tinypants
@tinypants I totally agree! - vicster
God. That really *was* awesome. Anyone hesitating, go on, click the blue arrow so you can read the whole thing XD - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
this is win. - Colette
he's sweet, but it won't work - 齐达外+
this would make an amazing ad : ) - liladreams
wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures? - Alex Scrivener
Yes, Always use pictures! For one thing, I might sketch your stuff one day! Also yes, it helps your posts stand out. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Awesome! - Josh Haley
I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link. - Anika
=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera... - Lix
No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that. - Alex Scrivener
There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm. - anna sauce
Brilliant! :D - Carmen wBabby
I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both? - Lix
Creative! - Tak Takkk
lol - echostreamer
So good! - Micah
That's a great idea ! i'm just sad you didn't show it before i left my camera somewhere ... T_T - Duff
that's genius. now all I need is the camera - JSLeFanu
Very Good! - John D Reasor
I was putting a README.txt file on my USB sticks with contact info if it got lost. This is way better! Now take this board with your contact info.... smile, no! put a sad face.... and you're done! - Nenad Nikolic
This is now far and away the most popular thing I have ever posted. Even got a FFundercats Best of the Week! - Alex Scrivener

Yup. This still makes me smile. :D - Hookuh Tinypants
