Nikon D5 camera and 24-70mm lens left in taxi cab in NYC!

5 years 4 months ago #619552 by Finn
A good friend of mine who is traveling down to Brazil today just sent me a text message as he was boarding his flight that he left his camera with lens in the taxi ride this morning!  A Nikon D5 and 24-70mm, and that camera he just bought 3 weeks ago! 

Man, I feel so bad for him!

:sick:

I might be worth a try to contact the taxi company ... couldn't hurt and you just might not know ...

There are photographs everywhere. It is the call of photographers to see and capture those images.

I left my cell phone in a cab a number of years ago, and was lucky that I was able to call my phone and meet up with the taxi cab later in the day.  Hope your friend is able to retrieve their camera!

That sucks!  Hopefully next person in the cap was honest and gave gear to driver, who hopefully was honest and gave to your friend!

Man and I was disappointed when I accidentally left my pen in a cab last year.  I would be crushed if I left my camera and lens in a cab.  Sorry to hear, I really hope the gear is recovered.  

Did he have the camera registered?  If not, if he still has the serial numbers, he should do so right away.

Many cameras have cameras in them recording at all time, that might be helpful
