This is the good story for today.  Looks like Chloe Hutson went kayaking in Czech Republic and lost her camera in the river.  It was found 5 years later and via social media, they found her in Australia.

Pretty girl too  ;D

Yep. I'd be checking her Mum out first because that's generally a good indicator of the long term outcome.
But a good story with a good ending.  ;D

It's a good thing they didn't find her in river, too.

Right. The camera was found in Český Krumlov - thats near Austria - this picture is Charles bridge in Prague but they found her because of picture of her name on some Beatles significant wall in London :)
