The FED4
Rangefinder Land Camera
Christmas 2004 I left this camera on a CIE
bus in Galway Station, as it pulled in from Letterkenny.
I was the last person off the bus when I left it there. It was in it's own
unique brown leather case.
When I returned to the lost property office everyone thought the camera was
in the press behind the counter but for some reason when they looked it wasn't
there. So someone received a Christmas present that year they wern't expecting
and I lost a camera. I still have the manual though. If anyone has seen anyone
with a camera like this in a brown case please let me know. ( portal2@upcmail.ie

The Motorolla Accompli 008

In July 2005 I left my Accompli 008 on the
steps of Trinity college Dublin, inside the main courtyard.
It was in a lack leather case with belt clip and by accident I just walked
away from it.
I reported the loss to O2, who put a block on the IMIE number for me, and
to the Guards in Letterkenny who did nothing about it at all. The phone has
a built in 56K modem and I still have the data port cradle, cables, software,
manual, hands-free kit and charger for it. It has a built in Organiser and
a touch screen stylus pen among other features. If you can return it to me
I will offer a small reward. Note: This particular model had a "Wave
Guard" anti-radiation screen stuck down over the earpiece reciever.

The Yashica Samuri

In August of 2002 ( approx ) I left a black
bag containing my camera and mobile phone hanging on the back of a chair in
a coffee shop in Terenure. The cafe was owned by Irish people who employed
Chinese staff. When I returned three times to ask about the camera, and if
it had been found, three different chinese waitresses thought the bag was
beneath the counter; but each time they looked it wasn't there. Someone got
a new camera at the end of that Summer. The bag contained the manual for the
camera, a lens cloth, and a G-Clamp tripod. The Yashica Samurai has a 30-120mm
zoom lens and takes an APS photo system film cartridge. Someone else got an
old Nokia. Perhaps they were handed into the Guards in Terenure; I never enquired
further or reported the loss. Do you know who has it ?
