There are a number of stories of lost & found cameras on Craigslist.com. I created a list of cities on the left side (scroll down) with links to "lost & found cameras." While people describe the cameras (most are digital), many are more interested in getting the memory card back.
"lost my digital camera around the 15th of january if you found a kodak silver camera please let me know it has a memory card in it and i would really apreciate it if i could get it back please"
"Lost Olympus camera in Atlanta airport. Contains 500 pictures from vacation in Italy. Would just like the memory card back, please. Reward offered.."
"If stolen, please return SD card (have a heart)"
Some describe the photos on the camera for identity purposes:
"You can tell its mine when you look at all the saved photos, there will be tons and tons of pictures of tarantulas, scorpions and so on."
Huge Reward for my lost camera stick left at Walgreens photo store sept.oct of 2011 on west main street in waterbury conn. Even if you erased pics, they still may be recovered.

I have lost a Fuji Fine Pix Z70 camera in Blue color with lots of pictures from our vacations and family event. I will offer an award for information leading to the pictures. I care less about the camera. In fact, the camera has a weird charger and I am willing to ship it in return for the pictures which our precious memories. I will pay for shipping as well or I can download pictures from the internet if I am am given access to the pictures. Whatever is easiest?
It was left at the steps of the Aqua fountain or the Fontana dell’Aqua Paola while we were having a snack on July 25. 2013.
Please contact me at gurjit_saluja@yahoo.com if you have any additional details.
