My husband has used a Leica V-LUX 20 since they introduced it a few years ago. He's hiking in Spain right now and last week mid morning found that his camera had walked its way out of its belt pouch and was gone (he swore he'd zippered at his last stop...). Totally bummed but figured he had his iPhone with him and would use its camera for the remainder of his trip. At his final stop of the day a fellow hiker (woman) was going through the courtyard asking if anyone had lost a camera earlier in the day! Dave said yes!!! She first asked what color the camera was - he answered black. Then asked what brand it was and Dave answered Leica. She then took it out of her pocket. She asked if there were any other identifying marks or anything else on or in it (while still hiding the Leica red logo). And Dave answered back that there were pictures of himself at various stops and she looked before handing him the camera. He's still wondering if she wouldn't have surrendered it if his pictures weren't in it He now knows why he's seen people with camera leashes hooked to their backpacks!
