Found In Bermuda Taxi

Hi..i dont know if this will work or not..but sure worth a try..

The NCL Spirit arrived in bermuda on sunday June 21..my husband, Jack, drove a party of 5 passegers in his taxi who were on the spirit either sunday or monday..from Swizzle Inn in Baileys Bay back to the ship at Kings Wharf, they left a Canon digital camera in his cab..they were here to attending a wedding at elbow beach on the tuesday..he inquired with the agent locally, the taxi dispatching companies and the customs people, none of whom had a request for a lost camera (strangely enough!)

i am sure these people would like the camera back..we would be happy to mail it..we will be in the USA for the 4th of July and could post it from there if we get any replies..persons claiming the camers is theirs would need to describe it, and my husband. and their ride back to the ship.

You can email kruzlab@yahoo.com,or reply here...hoping to return this to its rightful owner!

Bermie, I hope you find the owner! I bet the camera contains some priceless photos. It is so kind of you to search for the owner and I would have to say you are going above and beyond - it warms my heart. But I can't say I am surprised since we met nothing but kind, friendly, helpful and generous people on the island. Best wishes.

You and your husband are the people deserving the thanks, for going out of your way to find the camera's owner.

 

It's people like you that help make Bermuda a great place to visit.

The person who lost the camera must be ecstatic! ...and it's only because you went above and beyond in hopes of finding the owner that they got their camera back.

 

I left a camera at one of the bars on embarkation day. My daughter's prom pics were in it. (I know I should have cleared the card.) It was never turned in, I really thought a fellow passenger would have returned a camera. I know what it feels like to lose special pics.)

 

BUT, we took a cab in NYC to a restaurant. After we had ordered, (which meant it was a while) our cab driver came up to our table and said, 'Hi, you left this in the cab.' I hadn't realized it had dropped out of my purse. After handing it to me, he walked out of the restaurant. He didn't wait long enough for us to even get a heartfelt 'thank you' out, much less give him something ($). He had to have picked up another fare, who found the camera and he remembered us and drove back to that restaurant. It's bothered me forever that we didn't know his name or cab number to at least write a letter of commendation to the cab company about him.

 

When I tell the story, no one can believe that a NY cab driver took the time to drive back to us to give us our camera. There are wonderful, good, honest people everywhere. :)

 

Oh, and yes, my DH was not happy with me since it would have been another camera that I lost...

Bermie Queen... I just wanted to say that I agree with others. What a wonderful thing you have done by coming here to find the owner of that camera. You probably don't even think a thing about it, but as you can see by the postings, it was such a refreshing and wonderful effort to read about. You and your husband are the kind of people that keeps my faith up in the world we live in.

I am so glad you took the time to fine the owner. I would be very upset if I lost me camera.

 

When we travel, I put in a new memory card and then I take a picture of my phone number on a piece of white paper. Hopefully if I ever loose my camera it will be in the hands of nice people like you and they will call me.

What a great story with a happy ending.. On our last day, on the bus ride back to the Dawn, the bus driver gave a pair of glasses to the a passenger. He told him to take it to the Dawn's front desk- that someone left it on the bus & it was most likely a Dawn passenger. (this was a 'special' that went to from Horseshoe Bay) I thought that was so thoughtful of the bus driver.
