Last night at Watch Hill, picked up a few schoolies... Got to my car, took off my crap. Put my 1 month old camera (Optio W30) on the roof of my car... drove away. Realized it about an hour later, 15 minutes from home...

That sucks but you're not alone. I always leave plugs on my bed rails. Probably lost 10-15 over the last 2 years. I drove about 50 miles the other night with a hab's on my rear bumper.

That's nothing. Last night I left an unopened can of red bull behind.:behead:
Luckily, one of my buds took note and went back for it. It was still there.:kewl:

Up grouse hunting one year in northern Maine we had finished hunting 1 small spot and while putting the setters back into their crates I put my BRAND NEW Browning Citori 20 gauge on top of the pickup truck cap. Closed the tail gate and drove to the next spot. When I found it gone and realized what a bonehead move I made we back-tracked for about 5 miles and wound up finding it on the side of the logging road at the first bend we had taken. Other than some pretty good scratches on the stock ( which really sucks ) no worse for wear. Every time I use that gun those scratches remind of a painful lesson.

Sorry to hear that, it sucks. I've left everything from2 large coffees and & a dozen donuts to a phone on the roof of my car and driven off. Last summer, I drove from upstate Vermont to my house with a pen and my car keys on the bumper of my truck. I still don't know how they were still there when I got home. In fact, I left the pen there and it was still there 3 weeks later. Not sure when it ever did fall off.

We once drove from chatham to almost the canal with smokey's wallet and keys on my rear bumper. The miracle was that they were both still there! Talk about Lucky!! :)

Left my headlamp and $200 watch on my roof last week. When i got home and realized what i did flew back to where i started. Of course i found my $12 headlamp 15 feet from where i left. Spent the next 1.5 hours driving 5 mph down a 5 mile stretch looking for it. Was siked when i found it in the road, but unfortunatly a car had already ran it over!!!:splat:

like when you left your wallet on the bumper of your car at rocky road ?

I don't know how may discmen I went through in high school when I used to run the lake because I left them on the roof of the car.

Want me to post a notice in the RI Stripersonline forum?

Sure... can't hurt.

It could have been worse, like leaving a child in a baby seat on top of your car.

or the $200+ lost in the rocks at the canal on an incoming tide and found it all stuck to the bottom of a rock as the tide changed . remember that saltheart or jim powers ?

I remember that Chris! :) With all the current there , you have to say that was very lucky!!

Depends, when they're around 16 or so it doesn't bother you as much.

Been there. It all took place several years back during the infamous banana incident at the SWE in which 3 cameras jumped over board as well as 2 cell phones all within 2 days of a client bringing bananas on a charter with one of our captains.

The power of the banana jinx was so strong that after decimating the captains boat it boarded mine and claimed my brand new digital.

Something about a $600 camera with warranty jumping overboard just hurts...

I don't think I fished for a week.

Drove about ten miles once with an open beer on my front bumper, still there when I stopped. Luckily, didn't pass a cop.
