I use a more effective method, a lost and found service called TrackItBack. I lost my camera 2 years ago while on vacation in Florida, and never got it back. I looked on the internet to see if anyone had blogged, or mentioned anything about it. I purchased labels for $10 on TrackItBack and have since then covered my camera, memory cards, cell phone and pretty much everything else I own except my cat. This way I dont have to wait for someone to find me or spend time looking to see if someone posted any information about my lost item. I get it sent back to me free of charge from wherever I lost it.
