Searches the web for EXIF data with your serial number. Worked for me I found some images that I took and posted to flickr. If it gets 1 stolen camera back its worth its weight in gold! http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Wonder what sites it searches or just basic - have thousands of images on PhotoShelter and not one of my bodies showed up in the search.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Also, most image hosting sites strip a lot of data for the screen versions. -- Jason  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Or maybe you, as the owner, are allowed to do it to your own work. But why would you want search engines to be looking at blank information.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Sure it's not 100% perfect but it's better than nothing. Nikon and Canon need to take a page out of Apple's "Find my iPhone" playbook.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
