In a nutshell:

A tourist in Hawaii, Judith, lost her $500 camera during the trip. In the camera held a memory card and 500 taken pictures. She returned home from Hawaii without her camera, but a Hawaii park ranger called and said someone had found her camera! He gave her the contact phone number.

She called the phone number, and the other line did confirm that they found the camera, but refused to give it back. They claimed their diabetic son was fond of the camera, and they could not bear to take it from him. Judith agreed on a deal where the couple would send $50 and the memory card with the 500 pictures.

2 weeks later a package arrived with only a CD burned with her pictures. A note attached said that the son needed the memory card so the camera would work. She called them back saying that she wanted her memory card back, as it was $120 alone. The couple exclaimed that she was lucky to get anything back at all and promptly hung up.

Judith tried calling the couple's local police, but since the couple lived in Canada and the camera was lost in USA, the Canadian police cannot act.

So sad! How the hell can you just keep a $500 camera?

How would you feel if you were Judith? I'd post the Canadian family's info on the internet and let the blogging community barrage them with spam.

thats just wrong I'm sorry. If its not yours, give it back. If you don't want to give it back, pay for it. But don't just take someones belonging and hang it over their head like that. What heartless people. Who cares if the kid has diabetes? Its not your camera! Lots of people have diabetes. Theyre probably lying anyway. Freakin Canadians. (no offense to candian people of course <3)
