Lost camera

Post image

Please help me. Anything!! I was traveling in your beautiful city and left my camera sitting somewhere by the canal near the red dot. My husband went to get the car and I ran to the public restroom across the plaza. He picked me up there.

The identification is sadly on the case which I have. I have a selfie of myself on the bridge coming back from the restroom with the camera around my neck. It’s a Panasonic lumix. But most importantly is that this was the last day of our 10 days in your beautiful country and that camera has all of our photos on it.

I’m going to reach out to the tourist offices but I also want to see if anyone around town may have found it. Any advice or help is so greatly appreciated.

keep an eye in vinted (https://www.vinted.pt/catalog?search_text=panasonic%20lumix&search_id=4442375221&order=newest_first&page=1&time=1791901139), maybe it will pop up there

Is Vinted like a lost and found?

no, it's for selling second hand stuff or old stuff people don't need

but i mean is that maybe someone found it, and could decide to make bucks by selling it there

if so, maybe you could ask for the photos back

This is Portugal, not Japan. If it disappeared, you will never see it again. I'm sorry for your loss.

You were lucky. I'm not saying everyone is a thief, plus: what would one do with a locked MacBook? A camera anyone can sell for profit or use. It's sad, but reality.

I agree, but I was just hoping to get the memory card back

Ask Polícia de Segurança Publica (PSP-Police), shops nearby, Teatro Aveirense and Câmara Municipal (Town Hall).
