Over Memorial weekend I went to Toronto and Niagra Falls. While at Niagra Falls I visited the Ripley's museum.
So at the end of the tour there's this pitch black room with a glow in the dark "wall." You press and button, stand near the wall and pose, then there's a flash and your shadow/silhouette is on the glow in the dark wall. It was pretty fun. That was probably the best part. I spent a good 20 minutes in there messing around. Anyways, I'm standing near the corner and the light flashed and I tripped over something. I was like wtf? I thought it was a ball so I picked it up. I walked near the other room to see what it was because the glow in the dark wall room was pitch black. So I look and it's a friggin digital camera. I asked my dad's friend if it was his, then I looked around. Since we were at the end of the tour, it was just us. There was nobody in the previous room either. So in my hands laid a digital camera. I didn't really know what to do with it so I held onto it. We finally walk out of the glow in the dark room and the next room is the exit. I walk out of the exit and discovered there wasn't a lost and found. So I either throw the digital camera away or give it to a random person. I decided to hold onto it.
As we walked I turned on the digital camera and looked through some of the pictures. There were about 5 family pictures and around 30 something pictures of a new house. At this point I felt pretty guilty. It would really suck to lose a camera, let alone one with some pictures that could be valuable. There was no one to return it to, no lost and found, and I couldn't just leave it there because someone else would take it.
The camera is a Minolta Dimage G500. Here's a picture.

I looked online and the camera is around $400. It also has a case, which is around $20 and a 512 MB SD card which is around $50-60. So basically, I found $500 lying on the ground. I still feel guilty for finding it. Someone is probably extremely pissed right now. The camera is brand new too. There isn't a single scratch on it and it looks as if it just came out of the box. I just need to order the charger, which I found is about $20-25 dollars.
Would you have done the same and kept it?
