Strange thing happened to me a few years back. I was on my way home and it was a dark, rainy and snowy evening. I walked up to a bus stop and while I was waiting for the bus to come with nobody around I noticed those two plastic bags that leaned at the back of the bus stop shelter.

First thought was: someone dumped their litter there, but when I approached the bags and tipped them a little with my foot, I heard the sound of full bottles jingling.
I took a look inside the bags and they were full with cigarrette packs of all brands and at least 5 bottles of whiskey. When I took a (quick, dodgy) look around noone was to be seen, so I stuffed one of the bags into my rucksack and the other half under my coat and walked away determined... I went up to a mates house a few blocks away where I told him everything and we dumped the to bags on the floor. It was about 80 packs of cigarrettes and 6 bottles of whiskey both in all kinds of mixed brands.

We had fags and booze for many weeks...

Quote from Kaw :

I once found 1000 Danish Kroner's in a electronics store, was 12.
And went home to mum and showed her what I found, shouldn't have done that. SHE TOOK IT! And bought me bed sheets? Tell me, what kind of 12 year old does she think I am? Bed sheets? How about some pokemon cards man!?


Btw 1000 DKK is around 100£.

Women... what did you expect, to keep the money?

Next time keep the money to yourself, bedwetter

What were you doing behind the bus stop shelter anyways?
Nevermind...

Nah, forget all that. The chunk taken out of the front renders the camera completely useless! I'll give you $50 for it all

I hope your being sarcastic....
Becuase that doesnt render the camera useless, its only the lens, he can most likely buy a new one and even so he doesnt need to, the chip hasnt damaged anything vital.

You don't say...

I found £10 in a bush when I lost a football in it when I was about 9... Ah.. good times

The plastic bit that is damaged is just a fascia thing, it just unscrews and comes off. The camera takes good pictures without it anyway as i tested it out, i have no idea what any of the buttons, menus or twisty turny controls are all for though as i have no idea whatsoever about cameras. There is also something called a CIR Polarizing lens with it as well, whatever the hell that means, that has a tiny chip in it. Anyone know if this whole kit is worth much?? I was thinking of sticking it on ebay but as it has no charger or booklets with it, it could look dodgy, although it is all above board.

Did you not read my post?

Seriously, I even provided a link for you. I surely will give you $50 for it. Heck, I'll give you $100 right now, let's deal!

My link I provided in my other posts points to Adorama Camera, one of the 2 most popular camera/photography retailers in the US. Can't tell what lens is on it, but the camera alone without lense is $969.95.

That "just a fascia thing" is called a lens hood. You unscrew it, turn it around, screw it back on and it hoods the lens from light flare from the sun, for example.

Don't sell the camera, join in the Camera Showoff thread here on the forum. Download the manual on Canon's website, and buy a battery and charger for it.

Set the dial on top to "Auto", take a few pics if the battery is charged, and send them to me in PM. Put the dial to Av and shoot a few pics as well. I'll give you $500 for it all if it works.

Wow NightHawk you really want it

Nah, not really. Shipping would be expensive I imagine. If I could walk to his house and pick it up, I'd give him $500 for a $1300 camera and lens (depending on lens, that is with the cheap lens).
