my digital camera grew legs and walked out of my apt

what the heck.

last night i was looking for my digital camera because my bf is graduating today and i thought it would be a pretty good idea to go take some pictures with him. so i go to my desk (where it ALWAYS is, unless i take it somewhere) and it gone. i searched around the desk. i searched in all the crannies of the desk. i searched behind the desk. the boxes near the desk. started rummaging all through the apartment. even looked under the bathroom sink. i found some birthday candles, a lot of dust, and spider webs.

no camera. i can't find it anywhere.

my bf keeps going "someone ran in and took it." RIIIIIGHT so that's why nothing else in the place is gone and the door shows no sign of forced entry. if i'm not home i deadbolt the door. if i'm home the door still remains locked. (he's also being so friggin nonchalant about it and goes "just get a new one, they have 5mp models out. i kinda liked this one! it cost me a pretty penny too when i got it!)

why not jack a few other things in the place - the gamecube, laptop in the corner, hell take my rice cooker. those were all expensive too!

so unless i find it today when i get off of work, i'm going to bitch at canon for making walking cameras. where the hell could it have gone?!? i really like this camera, it has done nothing but serve me super duper well, its small, compact, fits in my purse, and it was a RossMAN special. :(

Could it be somebody you know or who has visited? It'll be much easier to pocket an s400 than a gamecube or ricecooker.

Wow, he's being really supportive. :roll: Sucks that it's gone. Do you know when you used it last?

i have an s400 sitting right here...... but it's mine :)

You probably just misplaced it. don't worry, you'll find it AFTER the graduation. Just the way the world works. Either that or your bf is slick and has a new s500 for you somewhere :)

for sure: when i was driving back to LA from san jose. i took a pic of my odometer when it hit 77777.

the compact flash is still sitting in the reader. i checked all the pics on there and the last ones were of my odometer.

auuuuuuuugh. no one ever visits. the last person that came by picked up a semi dead vacuum from us and we didn't even let her in the apt, just kinda opened the door and wheeled the vacuum out.

i have this pile of shopping bags next to my desk, i'm PRAYING that it fell in there (nice cushy landing) which i'm planning on taking apart when i get home from work.

yeah right he'll get me a new s500... he doesn't have that kind of money to spend on me. :( it would have been a nice thought though. :)

What? your bf doesnt have $300 to spend on you? Is he living with his parents with no job?

have you considered the possibilty that the reason he is so nonchalant about it, is because he knows what happend to it

maybe he took it..knows who took it...or broke it and is not telling you.

i mean for someone that has no money to buy you a new camera he sure doesnt seem to mind you spending a grip to get a new one..hes like playing it off as no big deal hoping you will forget about it.

i was freaking out way too much for him to hope i'd forget about it. i don't spend big bunches of money and forget about it.

he better not have done anything with it or i'm going to seriously kick his ass. he's been such a butt about my things and not caring about it at all, but willingly will ask me to buy things for him which i go "i can't afford that" and he goes "stop doing that" to which i say "i'm poor, whatever."

he really doesn't have money - he graduates today, starts a job on tues, has been working as a tutor on campus but doesn't get many hours from that. so bahh.

it's 300 bucks? *runs to look*

Damn that's the S400 I sold to you for a good price?

:(

Sorry for your loss.

man wtf this is the exact same story w/ my S200. Always on my desk and then I couldn't find it. But I lived in a dorm and I'm quite sure somebody came in and jacked it!

Because those won't fit down the front of most people's pants.

Don't worry, I'm sure your Canon will resurface somewhere. Absent-mindedness comes with age.

Sorry to say your bf definitely is sounding fishy... maybe he took it then sold/broke it...

I would apply some torture and extract some information from him... ;)
