How to get your camera back if you lose it

Take a photo of yourself holding a sign like this as the first picture on your digital card. (No, this is not a photo of me!)

Back in 1984, I left a bag loaded with thousands of dollars of camera equipment along side a country road in Austria.

I had just photographed some amazing views of the Austrian Alps before moving on to photograph some castles in Germany.

About an hour later (and 50 miles of treacherous, mountainous roads) I realized what I had done. I raced back to the scenic spot and the bag was gone. Fortunately, it was turned in to the local police. I paid a small “reward” to the finder and all ended well.
