Digital returns

Freshness Warning
This blog post is over 18 years old. It's possible that the information you read below isn't current and the links no longer work.

Most people are honest enough that if they find a lost object they want to return it to its owner. Lose your wallet and you’ll probaby get contacted by the person who finds it, using the contact information they find in the wallet. The main screen of my phone shows a user-defined note on which I’ve put my name, email, home phone, and emergency contact information.

But when I lost my digital camera last year, whoever must have found it had no way of contacting me. On my new camera, I’ve changed that. I printed out a page that reads "This camera belongs to..." followed by my name and contact info. With an empty memory card, I took a picture of that sheet of paper and then write-protected that picture so it won’t be deleted when I pull the photos off my camera.

Now if someone finds my camera and looks at the pictures, they’ll at least know how to get a hold of me to return it.
