It’s an attitude, Peter., not a guarantee.

I'm glad you didn't lose your camera. I've looked everywhere for my glasses when I was wearing them.

I lost/mislaid my wallet at my local shopping centre after visiting the hole in the wall. I first realised this when I arrived at the checkout of Woolworths super market with a trolley load of groceries. The checkout lady advised me to report this to the shops information desk and likewise to the shopping centre. In addition I was advised to go to the bank and put a hold on my account and cards.
I returned to the supermarket to advise them that I couldn't pay for my shopping and couldn't take possession.
The person at the checkout said "no problem, the lady behind you paid for your stuff and wouldn't leave her name except for her first one"
Then after returning home I received a call from the manager's office at the shopping centre stating that my wallet had been found and handed in by a family who again wouldn't leave their name or details. Every thing including the cash I had just drawn was intact.
Most people follow these principles, I would say 99.9%

True, but the same thing happens to younger people.

Jerry,
I wonder if anything in the links below could explain the not really missing camera.

Glad you found it.
My first image on my camera is my contact information. When I reformat the camera I put it back on the card.

I do the same and add "REWARD" in large letters. If someone found and returned my D7200 I'd gladly pay a $100 reward.
I haven't lost a camera yet, but I lose a cane at least once a year. I put it aside to take a few photos and don't notice I'm without it for a while. Perhaps I should use an over-the-shoulder strap on the cane too.

I use the old style rams horn handle walking cane. It was made for me by a friend. With the handle hooked on my arm whilst I am using my photo kit I don't lose the cane when I move on. I use a backpack that swivels round in front for access. Thus when changing lenses or whatever I work out of and into the bag. Hence I don't walk off and leave a lens on a fence or similar.

Apparently you think someone who forgets where he placed something is a dickhead. What a novel but screwed up approach to life you have. According to your definition everyone I have ever met in my 71 years of life must be a dickhead.

Well, I'm sure glad you remembered where your car was parked :) I've forgotten once or twice and trust me, it's not fun, especially if it's in one of those casino parking garages.

Oh yeah. I “lost” my car in the Portland, OR airport parking lot once and had to get a cab to circle the lot to find it 😩 (and I wasn’t that old). Now, when I fly, I make a note on my phone or daytimer where I put the car - after awhile, all those airport parking decks look alike, and it’s cold and embarrassing walking around, with roller bag in tow, checking each level for your car. Setting off the horn from the key fob sometimes works depending how far away you are.
