Facebook group seeks camera's owner

SYDNEY (UPI) -- An Australian man said a Facebook group he created to identify the owner of a camera he found in Greece has grown to more than 180,000 members.

Danny Cameron said he found a camera by a bus stop on the Greek island of Mykonos while vacationing in September and he was unable to find any information leading to its owner before he returned home to Sydney, Australia, in mid-October, Sky News reported.

"Six degrees of separation has always fascinated me, and I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could use Facebook to close the world between us," Cameron said of his inspiration to create the "Needle in a Haystack" Facebook group.

He said he posted pictures from the camera to the group in the hope that someone will view them and recognize a face.

Cameron said the group started out with a modest 40 members and quickly grew to more than 180,000.

"I am being absolutely blown away by the growth of the group -- it is blowing my mind, it might actually work and I am seeing how many of the people like to see good happen," he said.
