Camera found - Need to find owner

[Please help]

I found a Minolta Capios 115 (SN:-01523657) at a tram stop in Melbourne, Australia. I waited and the owner never returned. I developed the film and the owners or their Japanese? friends were standing in front of a hotel. The prints were date stamped. The hotel refused to help and Minolta also refused as they preferred the insurance company replace a lost camera rather than reunite the owners with their lost camera.

Thanks in advance.

I saw a website somewhere for re-uniting people with their lost cameras.

No clue how to help but I think is awesome that you are looking for the owner.
Hats of for you mate :thumbsup:

I also appreciate your honesty and willingness to try to find the owner of the camera. I would caution anyone in this situation that listing the complete serial number might be an invitation to someone with lesser morals to try to claim the item. Just a thought.

You're absolutely correct Phil. I have the 'photos of the 'owners' or their friends. I won't be handing back the camera willy nilly. I'll enjoy the drama. Firstly I'd like to track the journey of the camera from the time it left the production line.

I don't have any numbers, but it seems to be fairly successful at reuniting people with their lost cameras.
