No. I don't believe the camera had been examined or used at all. The batteries were still charged. All the pictures were undisturbed.

Great suggestion - thanks!

Faith in people, my friend. Please do remember that he willingly told me he had the camera. That's not something an employee would do if he intended to keep it for himself. I have all the self-confidence I need to raise hell when there's a clear need and I'm satisfied that I fully understand...
