Well, I was beginning to get a little worried. She seemed really intent on letting me know when she received the camera back and was very concerned to making sure that she pay back the cost of shipping, even though I told her not to worry about it. Yet, I started to think that I really didn't confirm it was her. I had her plate number that I could have asked for confirmation before sending, but didn't. After a few weeks now and not hearing back or seeing anything in the mail, I figured that I might have been duped by someone that is now living at the location I found via google.
Then, today, I finally received a letter and a well over-paid reimbursement. I would relay everything that she said, but it was quite saddening as well as triumphant. When the wife got home from work I let her read the letter and she all but broke out into tears.
This find and return will be something that we will never forget. Goofingly, we even took a picture of ourselves at the spot where we found the camera and she was tickled when she saw it. I hope that one day we will get to run into her and give her the hug, after reading the letter, the wife and I feel we should give her.
