I left my camcorder in the park

I put my phone number and PO Box on the first shot on both my still and movie cameras in the, probably vain, hope that if I leave it somewhere someone hands it in. On the still cameras if you make it a “favourite”, it doesn’t get deleted.(haven’t had to delete anything on the camcorder yet so don’t know if it works on that).

As an addition to this I have found that on the VXF1 it is possible to favourite a video and still so it is not deleted when you “Delete All”

Playback > Video Set Up > Scene Protect > select video

Similar with the still shot except you must be in Camera playback.

I have filmed my Address and Phone Number in the (vain?) hope if Ilose it the camcorder gets returned (or at least the SD Card?)

I lost a camera once, in a multi story car park in Gloucester, it must have fallen out then I got out. I never even bothered to inform the carpark or police. Most people regard it as ‘finders keepers’.

@Bretrick Sad to hear you didn’t get it back … but as others have said most folk do think ‘finders keepers’.
Was it insured?

I have mine insured for up to £5000 for just over £70 a year . That is so for lost, stolen, damaged etc etc

[Morticia]

I never realised they were so expensive so it’s wise to insure them.

The Panasonic G9ii with with the
12 - 60mm f2.8 lens is around £2000

No, Not insured.

Check on your house contents insurance, you might have some cover for cameras there.

I don’t have specific insurance for my cameras either but the camcorder is the most expensive and it was less than $900 (£450) so it doesn’t seem worth insuring.

[Bretrick]

I live a frugal, minimalist life and do not have house and contents insurance.

Maybe some “Roo” has it.
