Web Sleuths Reunite Lost Digital Camera With Owner

On New Years Eve, a woman named Erika Gunderson entered a taxi only to find a camera in the back seat. This sent her on a journey to find the owner of the digital camera. She brought the camera home to her fiance, 26-year-old Brian Ascher, who decided he would look for the owner of the camera. He first called the Ireland district to see if anyone had bought a camera that registered the $500 camera's serial number. Nothing. Next he called a diner owned by Bob Heilman, but he only remembered a group of Irish diners'. No last names. After that, he went to a place shown in one of the camera's pictures to be Radisson Hotel where he received the email address of the believed owner. It turns out the camera didn't belong to the man name Noel. In the end, Ascher got the email address of the real owner who thanked him for his honesty and trouble.
Wow. That's really interesting. I'm glad he finally found the real owners, and that they were honest enough to go through all the trouble of finding the real owners.
