Lost Camera at GSP airport

If you are reading this from an RSS feed, you can stop reading now.  Apologies for the spam.

I recently left my camera in an airport terminal.  On the off chance that someone picked it up, looked at the photos on it, and is trying to track me down, this post should be chock full of enough keywords to be able to find me.  My email address is ggrothau@gmail.com

The camera was lost at terminal B1 in GSP (Greenville Spartanburg) airport on May 10th.  The camera is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT sitting in a "Crumpler 4 Million Dollar Home in Brown" camera bag with a black strap.  In the front pocket was a small pecan chocolate candy, in the side pocket a lens brush.  The first set of photos is in Hyderabad India including shots of Golkunda fort and Charminar.  The second set is in the mountains in North Carolina / South Carolina.  It has photos of me and my father hiking and backpacking in Pisgah National Forest and Shining Rock National Wilderness.  I'm wearing a blue "Gregory" brand backpack.  There are some photos of my mother, some shots of her dog.  Some photos of us gold panning.

I've already contacted multiple groups at the airport, have had family drive up there, etc and they were all unable to find the camera.  I know where I left it so either some kind soul picked it up or someone 'stole' it.  If you are on the fence between the two, I'm offering a reward to return the camera.

I had a similar experience and was able to find the person who had the camera on eBay, I know its a long shot but none the less worth the try. I hope someone shows up with it. I would add to this by creating a page were if there is a person out there who has the camera and has read this blog I would give them the option to upload all the images which were on the camera, stressing its sentimental value, and if there is a touch of kindness in the heart of the person who stole or found it, but does not want to give the camera back, you are giving them a another alternative and also an option where they do not feel they can get caught. Its worth a whirl. Good Luck. Mark
