Have you ever had a camera stolen? Have a look at this site. I'm curious if this will work for anyone here.

- if you have original photos, the exif meta data stored with the photo will tell you thatfugged
- no need of serial that's the whole point of the applicationjadrian_uk

I'm pretty sure all they are doing is searching Flickr for the EXIF data that is published when you post photos. So it doesn't actually pull the EXIF data from photos directly when searching.
In theory you could write something that actually searched for this info in photos themselves, but it would be retarded slow.

who do you even find the serial number? I don't see anything in the exif data pertaining to a serial number
Can't they at least tell you how to find it in your photos?

If you upload a photo, and then view the exif data, you should see it on the bottom. At least I do:
SerialNumber 0870320722
SerialNumberFormat 2684354560
SerialInfo K1196256

You can do pretty much everything he is doing with a small PHP script and google.
