Lost
In the cab last night I found a camera memory card containing nearly 2GB of holiday images and video taken in Egypt. These four characters below feature prominately in the content which is five weeks old. It's a long shot but I thought maybe someone might recognise them. If so, the card can be recovered from Lost and Found...soon. We'll see how good this Interwebby thingo is, six degrees of separation and all that.
UPDATE: Some great suggestions in comments re these lost images. I Found Your Camera is a dedicated site for locating camera owners with an interview here. Another worthy idea is for The Daily Telegraph to publish the images. Given the online edition has previously adopted a few Cablog formatting tricks maybe they'll give the images a run.



Hi Adrian,
You may like to send some pics to http://ifoundyourcamera.blogspot.com/ also. Its a fairly US-centric site but there are a handful of Aussie finds too.
Good luck.
Ryan

Mate, send it to the Tele. You might get a cabbie good news story for a change.

I think the man in the second shot is Tony Abbott's son. Worth a try, anyway.

Check that none of the photos have gps data in the EXIF tags.. you may be able to find out where this guy works / lives. You could also run a utility like the free "recuva" to find deleted files which may give you more clues.
I'm really grateful there are honest cabbies returning people's stuff.. Last week I lost my drivers license in a cab, and found in in my letterbox after the start of the cabbies next shift!

Noah, I ran Data Doctor on the card and found no deleted images, so it's pretty new. No geo-tagging either. But encouraging to hear of your luck with the returned license. There is a (taxi) God.
