I do wonder in that circumstance which would appeal to me more - the quest and detective work or the lure of a free camera.

I have to confess to the same thing... I have to applaud these people for going to those lengths to return the camera to its owner.

...the detective quest fell to Ascher, a 26-year-old law student at New York University. He was on winter break and eager to put off writing a paper about climate change treaties.

I dunno about you, but I would definitely have gone to all that trouble to keep from writing a paper.

In all honesty, I would have spent a good deal of time trying to "figure out" who was in the pictures, but I do not think I would have been able to return it.

I think the detective work would have been enough reward for me, even better than the gratitude from the owners.

(And I have a Canon digital camera already...)

"Hello, Mr. Murphy? I found this SD card with your pictures on it and-- what? No, just an SD card. I wonder if-- Eh? Oh, I'm sure the camera will turn up. Anyway, do you want the pictures or not? Okay, great. I'll-- Shipping? No, no, don't be silly. I need a 2GB card. I'll just e-mail the pictures to you."
