FTA: That's bad enough, but it gets worse: the camera also contained top secret information that may compromise the security of James Bonds in the field.

MI6 may find their agents less vulnerable if they gave them names other than "James Bond".

xanadian		2008-09-30 01:54:05 PM

Well...at least the buyer didn't get a bobcat shipped to him...

I was hoping for 30 pieces of silver.

This sounds like my sensitive secret shiat.

Cool! I can't wait to see what's on the Mossad and KGB cameras I just bought.

How is that fixing it? Is there some phrase about 30 pieces of copper that I've never heard before?

Ooh, I've got it. You're both foreign spies, and you're secretly communicating the location of the drop-off point off all these top-secret images.

That, or you're a moran.

FTFA:The Foreign Office and the police are conducting an investigation, but for now, nobody has a clue about how the camera ended up on eBay.

Um, just a guess.... Someone put it up for auction, find the seller and close the "investigation".
Fine police work, ect.

Well I use Mac/Linux...		2008-09-30 02:15:08 PM

You say that at a time when our economy resembles a de-railed freight train? Really?

And, AND, Subby, how much would it cost to manufacture a story?

Friends and family of the people who found the mysterious ebay camera found dead of natural causes

They may hemmorage it, but we elect it. And then re-elect it.

True. Their moron's lap dog had the dignity to step down. We still got the moron.

Missiles and rocket launchers have fingerprints?

You fail. The correct code is:

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, (Select), Start

ReverendJasen		2008-09-30 02:48:13 PM

Don't forget the cost of having the camera and your PC confiscated by the bobbies. Hope the guy had his data backed up offsite somewhere...

Sad thing is, he's only correct if the OP was playing with someone else.

Sadly, the flash doubled as a flame thrower and he killed 3 people when trying to take a family photo.

Isn't that a $1000 camera?

rodr3		2008-09-30 07:23:32 PM

I have a good idea of how a really expensive camera got ~~fenced~~ sold on ebay for $30....

MI6 isnt training their guys to keep an eye on their stuff as well as they used to.

One way or the other, women are never free.
