That sucks man... I gave my sister a digital camera for xmas, and she took it to a party and left it in her purse... I guess all the girls left their coats and purses or whatever in the guy's kitchen, she goes to leave at the end of the night and the camera is gone... of course, unless whoever took it knows how a digital camera works, they're sol for getting it to work without software or a smartmedia reader, etc. Ironically the same thing happened to MY first digitial camera a few years earlier, but back then there is almost no chance they ever got the photos out of the camera. Stupid punk ass kids.
