| some friends we had over last weekend stole my D50 in the Box it came in. I do not have the serial number written down anywhere because it was an older camera and I have better ones but I do want this camera back and I want them prosecuted because this is not the first time they have stolen from us. They also stole $160 while they were here.Before I go looking through my External hard drive would anyone know if a D50 embeds the serial number in an exif? How else could I get the serial number? I MIGHT have registered that with Nikon a while back but I really can't remember. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The police will not do anything without a serial number. |

I think the serial number should be in the EXIF.
I looked at an old D40 (that I no longer have, but still have the box) photo of mine and the ser# is at the bottom of the EXIF info. (I'm looking at the EXIF info via an Apple computer > Preview > Tools > Inspector.)
Hope this helps. Good luck. |

Serial number is embedded in the EXIF data of every photo. If you have Photoshop or Elements, open the photo and then choose File Info and go to the EXIF tab and search for Serial Number. If you don't have either or EXIF viewing software feel free to post something in your workshop and PM my with the image number/link (I can't view EXIF on challenge shots).
That you can still call them friends is a tribute to your character. |

I've had this happen. The police made it clear that since I let them in, they had the right to steal whatever they wanted.
So, my advice is to get it back on your own, and take whatever revenge you would like on your own. Don't call the police, because that will make you the prime suspect should you do anything in retaliation that may be not fully in compliance with the law. |

That's odd. Nobody has a right to steal anything. The store owner lets me in all the time. He might even have a person greeting me on my way in. That still doesn't give me the right to steal whatever i want. It may not be B&E, but if they take something without asking it's a theft in my book.
Using that logic, if i let them in, do they have the right to kill me without being responsible for murder?

Wow. You guys need better friends!
This sounds very strange. What kind of people did you (plural) invite over?

| I checked one of your old D50 entries that still had EXIF data, but there is no serial number listed. Sorry! |

According to this discussion, the D50 does not record serial number in the EXIF.

Yup - looks like they took one of the few cameras that can't be tracked via its images =(
