SteveM Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hey, all! I lost my silver Olympus Stylus 850SW digital camera today while at the expo. I'm pretty sure it fell from my pocket when I laid my coat on a chair outside the men's room for a few seconds. Reward & huge amounts of gratitude offered for it's safe return. I'm hoping that in a building full of fly fishermen/women, the person who found it would realize how important this camera is to a fellow fisherman & do their best to return it. Here's hoping! I'd love to at least get the card back; got family pics on there... Thanks in advance(he says hopefully), Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchy Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 That sucks Steve!! Was there a lost & found booth there at all? Did you check with the girls behind the front desk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchie Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 well that really sucks , i hate losing stuff myself , so i'll be at the show again all day on sunday , i'll ask around for you , the best thing you have going for you is it's a fly fishing show and your chances are better then if left at a mall , most people who fly fish have some honesty in them , keep your fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'll see if it was turned in when I get there first thing this am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Thanks for looking out, guys; I appreciate it. Birchy: I was long gone from the expo before I realized it was missing; I called Max, he checked at the front, etc. Before anyone says,"How do you know you didn't lose it after you left the show?"- it was in the top pocket of my coat & could only fall out if the coat was upside down. I don't remember doing any cartwheels or handstands after I left; only thing I can figure is that it fell out when I laid my coat over the arm of the chair...

SteveM Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Did you have someone check all the flower pots? I'm glad this is a source of amusement for you. Please don't feel one bit bad about the fact that I've lost a camera that I can't really afford to replace right now. Don't fret about the fact that it contains precious family photos that can never be replaced. Just make (crappy) jokes. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually LOL'd at your post, Weedy1; if Rick wasn't watching the Colts this afternoon, he prolly woulda been saying the same thing.

Weedy1 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I know you would have been kind enough to do the same for me had it been my camera. I do hope it is returned as it would be awful to think that someone that attended the FF in Calgary would be so low to walk away with it.

I am not like you!!! :wave_smile: :wave_smile: :wave_smile: YEE-HAW! Looks like I'm gonna get my camera back! Just got a PM from a new member that my camera was found; sent a message back to make arrangements to get it back to me. So relieved! Thanks to all of you who were good enough to look for it for me; y'all are the best! A great big thanks to Paul; just confirms my contention that fly fishing attracts the best people!

Glad you got your camera back anywho Rev I'm gonna go with the old standby-"There's an exception to every rule"??? I'm real glad to get my camera back, too, Taco; so many flowers just waiting for their chance to shine on a fishing forum... It was nice to chat with you on Saturday.

reevesr1 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Steve, Told ya. The safest place in the world to loose anything (except maybe a fly box) would be a fly fishing show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teck71 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 glad you got it Back Bob. I was starting to loose my faith in fly fishers when the show closed and it was not turned in. Teck (the info booth dude) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest galsfishtoo Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Steve, glad to hear you are getting your camera back I would miss your flower shots. I still remember the panic feeling that set in when I lost my camera at the Zoo, many years ago (before digital). Unfortunately no one was honest and I lost a bunch of family stuff that was on the roll of film. Hard lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yeah, folks, I certainly wouldn't have held nearly as much hope of getting it back if I'd lost it elsewhere. Don't believe the media; there are still some good, decent people out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yo Steve, as per your comment regarding Mr. R. Reeves; considering the source I ain't gonna worry aboudit much.. Lookin' forward to the flowery pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I had said the safest place to loose something would be at a Fly Fishing show. But I think I may have spoke too soon, or without sufficient consideration. Now that I think about it, the safest place to loose something is a Folk Music Festival. Loose your item, wait an hour, go to lost and found, pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Now that I think about it, the safest place to loose something is a Folk Music Festival. Loose your item, wait an hour, go to lost and found, pick it up. Unless of course if it was dried leaves from a certain green plant that you lost...
