There are number of helpful services for helping users to locate their stolen mobile phones and laptops on the market. How about the stolen or lost digital camera? Here is an interesting Web service created by Matt Burns called as Stolen Camera Finder, which is designed to help trace your missing or stolen camera by seeking for photos captured by that camera

How Stolen Camera Finder Works?

Just drag and drop an existing photo captured by the missing camera in the provided space, or submit the unique serial number of your lost digital camera.

Based on the serial numbers (in addition to date, time, model name and etc) in hidden EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) metadata, StolenCameraFinder web app will scan the Internet for uploaded photos that have the same and identical identification serial code. If a picture with same serial number is located, it allows the original owners to trace to the “new owner” of the camera.

However, not all the cameras are compatible with the free Web service provided by Stolen Camera Finder, if you would like to check more details about the supported cameras list, visit stolencamerafinder.com/listmodels.
