You may have read the story and understood why the photographer, Faith Massey, was doing all she could to recover the camera, and more importantly, the images that were on the card stolen with the camera.
I checked with Faith today for an update and she reported that while the camera equipment was not recovered, the memory card was recovered.
She didn't elaborate on when or how the card was recovered.

That's sad, may the thief find out what bad karma is for the rest of his or her days and burn in hell for the rest of eternity.
It seems appropriate...

May none of his/her photographs taken with the stolen camera ever be in focus or properly exposed...

I doubt if they took it to use it. More than likely it was in a pawn shop within hours.

That's good. It's strange that she got the card without the camera. Maybe the thief mailed it to her.

tsilva, the local TV station that originally reported on the theft didn't report the follow-up story.
jerryc41 - I looked at the Charlotte TV station's report and learned that the thief mailed the card to the TV station around the middle of March.

Camera's can be replaced. Images cannot, glad the memory card was returned. It is a shame that any equipment was stolen, but those images on the memory card will live on beyond the shelf life of the camera.

Hope it is a grey market camera and can never get it fixed.

If I'm leaving my camera in the van with a shoot on it, I often pop the memory cards and slip them in my pocket. The equipment is insured, the shots aren't.
