[QUOTE=pie_is_good;17409502]Some of the pictures in the link [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1209877/Camera-abandoned-student-mountain-returned-snaps-fellow-walkers.html[/url] I bet if anyone here were to find the camera, they'd probably take a picture of their dick or something.[/QUOTE] I have an opinion about this. People that go mountain climbing are the kind of people that meditate alot (Because there's really nothing better to do while climbing up), Meditation can lead people to become nicer! Plus it's just an awesome idea all around. :)
The fact that this is news says it all.
[QUOTE=Jallen;17411744]Who the fuck would steal a 1 use camera. Stupid article...[/QUOTE] Yeah, let's see them repeat the "experiment" with a DSLR camera!
Two problems: 1. Hikers are generally the nicest people you will ever meet. They know what it's like to run on "survival/minimal" mode and for the most part doing stuff like stealing is the lowest of the low for them. 2. Cheapass camera, as was said.

That's a very interesting story. It makes a lot of sense with trust. I lol'd at some of the pictures.
[QUOTE=Sirdangolot5;17412259]This story SO reminds me of something Derren Brown did: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxYCh_p2Mjs[/media] One of my favorite things ever[/QUOTE] I have a warm fuzzy feeling inside me after watching that video.
Pretty cool. By the way, I read the URL as Camera-abandoned-student-mountain-returned-snaps-fellow-wankers.html instead of Camera-abandoned-student-mountain-returned-snaps-fellow-walkers.html
Oh come on.. Who's going to steal a disposable camera?! And a park warden returned it? That's his job.
If he left it on a bench in the middle of a town it wouldn't last for 5 minutes.
Awesome. But I wouldn't say this counts for trust. It was like the bare basic minimal. If someone had stolen the camera, they would have paid for random people's shots and stuff.
