Facebook has been known as a tool to find your long lost buddies. But the recent success has proved that it can also be used to find your lost items. A camera owner has recently be found from the social networking site.

Over 230,000 people has joined a Facebook group called Needle In A Haystack to try reunite a camera with its owner. The group was set up by an Australian man, Danny Cameron after he found the camera on the Greek Island of Mykonos.

Cameron who’s a believe of the ‘six degrees of separation” theory, that anyone can be contacted within 6 connected individuals would lead him to find the tourists whose pictures were saved on the memory card started the group. The group has received a very good response from the Facebook members, and as a result, three friends, Pierre Paoli, Edouard Hostein and Julien Kopp, have now come forward to end the intrigue.

“It’s not a hoax, it is absolutely real,” Mr Paoli, who works in London, told Sky News. “We were on holiday and our friend Marie Cecile lost her camera.”

Mr Hostein, who separately named Marie Cecile as the owner, described it as an “amazing story, unbelievable”.

“I confirm that the camera’s owner is one of my friends and I am on a picture with two other friends, Pierre Paoli and Julien Kopp.”

The group has been closed upon finding the owner and Cameron thanked everyone for participating and congratulated on the success. The last post from him was “nothing more to see here…pop the champagne!!”

Kudos Facebook!
