My father in law found a red Nikon Coolpix camera on 2012-06-20 in the train at the station Amsterdam Amstel in the Netherlands. His photos show a trip throughout Europe from about 2012-05-07. Since 2012-06-15 he stayed in Amsterdam. We would like to give him back the camera and the photos. Please Like, Share and spread this photo around so we can give him back his camera! Thanks!
Progress appears to have been made, according to van Gogh, who is keeping everyone up to date:
The photo hit Reddit on Monday afternoon, with people offering tips and making jokes. "This could use more drama," wrote redhousebythebog. "Threaten to erase a picture every 10 minutes until the owner is found."
