Stolen camera finder - at least images.....

**interested_observer** · 04-27-2011, 07:29 PM

I happened across this site. Apparently if you have had your camera stolen, just drag one of your past images taken prior to the theft, and it will search for all posted images containing the serial number of the stolen camera - with the idea of finding an image posted taken after the theft....

Some comments posted about this was that one person used it and found several images with serial numbers of other camera models from the same manufacturer.

Doesn't seem to work with my K-x: it can't find the serial number, even though its in the exif.

I couldn't get anything by dragging and dropping a jpeg for the long gone K-7

The program has been running since 10:30 am today, out of 832 images scanned the log shows 263 SN's found. It'll be curious to see what if anything it finds...

When does it stop running

I've no idea how the end results show up and look like: No info on their website
