I found out a while ago that people have little regard for other people's property, even if it's quite obvious that it's not something lost or purposefully left behind. It starts with a disregard for private property along public byways as well as traipsing through people's yards to retrieve the ball or frisbee—then, if left unchecked, it becomes an entitled feeling where basically everything belongs to everyone, regardless of actual ownership or how much is spent in upkeep. Some of those folks graduate to theft. Then apparently don't know what they have because they essentially get caught and broadcast themselves back to the receiver.
I'm glad you got your camera back. Since you were unable to blast him and his family all over the internet did you call in the police to get it back?
