Just wondering if anyone has found a stray camera that fits the bill lately, if they could, please do get in touch, I'd very much appreciate it, and am happy to offer a reward for its safe return, as it is a big setback to my community work from day to day, as well as my personal business.

Thanks <3 hope you're having a great week,

Dean
