Lost photo equipment? Report it here!
Iwantmycameraback.com is a photographic equipment serial number
collective base for items which have been declared stolen or lost. The
website through a specifically formulated process allows photographers
to declare all details about their lost equipment, such as the brand,
the model, the serial number and also information which concerns the
place, the time of loss and finally an email address for further
contact.
Photographic supply shops, service centers, prospective buyers and
whoever else wishes to, can, by using the search engine provided by
this
website, search through equipment serial numbers to find out if it has
been declared lost or stolen.
Also it it possible to contact the owner who declared the loss, in
order
for him to be given the necessary information as in how to retrieve the
equipment. The website www.iwantmycameraback.com aspires to become a
universal database for lost and stolen equipment and to increase the
percentage of retrievals.
In other words, it will no longer be necessary to inform every service
center, photographic supply shop or photographer independently in case
of loss. They will be informed through the upload of the information on
the website.
In addition, due to the universal nature of this service it will be
possible to immediately and directly inform all service centers,
photographic supply shops and photographers in all countries.
The function of the website depends on the universal community of
photographers and is of a non-profitable nature.
We invite all concerned individuals, amateur or professional, all forms
of the printed media, unions and organizations and every person
connected in any way with photography to support our effort and to
actively participate in the search process.
