Cool story. But if it was say a 5D Mark II or D700 I doubt it would be returned....

Possibly, but I say we all should just rejoice in the fact that she got the camera back, which holds the memories.

Quite a story...The thief must have really been heartstruck to return the camera and not just the film...Of course he may have found out what the pawn shop was going to pay, dented lens and all, and decided a clear conscience was worth more at Christmas time...Ben

that is a very touching story. I wish the jerk-off that broke in my house and stole my husbands canon would return it...along with all of our movies, pillow cases, laptop, computer monitor and everything else they stole.

If the thief really had felt bad, he should have returned ALL the items that were stolen, not just the camera.
