Equipment Recovery Strategies?

Hi,

DSLR's do cost a lot of money, and I'm sure they can be accidentally left somplace. Does anyone use those sticky lables which ask a finder to telephone a 1-800 number and find out who the owner is? Has anyone lost equipment and has it returned becasue of having these stickers?

Thanks,

The chances are that some druggie would see that camera and think "that'll buy my next fix".

Having said that, there are a lot more honest people than dishonest around. I think a sticky label might be a good idea. Perhaps put your name and cellphone number on it rather than putting your address - unless you want to put a PO box number. It couldn't hurt!

Just not sure where it'd fit on the typical DSLR. The real estate's pretty well cluttered with controls. I don't think using them would present any more risk than hauling the gear around without them. I've thought about sticking an address label on; got to do something with the dozens of sheets we get every year in the mail! I do put an address label on my laptops - there's a bit more space on them.

Inside the battery compartment?

just get insurance. its cheep and you don't have to pray that who ever found it is a good person
