As I mentioned in my previous post, my camera and laptop were stolen while I was recently travelling. During our trip, both my wife and I had been copying pictures off our cameras onto the laptop. Once copied to the laptop, the pictures were deleted off the cameras. So...even though my wife's camera wasn't stolen, we still lost all those pictures. Or so we thought.

Since cameras use FAT32 file systems, I knew it was possible the deleted pictures could be save. I had her switch to a secondary memory card for the rest of the trip. I did a little searching, and I found a program called PhotoRec. PhotoRec FTW!!! It managed to find 201 pictures that were deleted!

The bad news is that the value of the stolen items is less than my insurance deductible, so I get the shaft. We booked our trip with Amex, so we're going to follow up there...I could have sworn that they had some sort of "automatic" travel insurance, but I could be wrong.
