> I took mine on a cycle ride with my children yesterday and had it in a
> small camera bag in a pannier on the back of my bike.  We stopped in a
> playground on the way back and I was just putting the camera in its case
> when my daughter fell over and started to cry.  I quickly stuffed it  back
> in the pannier thinking "I must remember to put that away properly" and
> picked her up for a cuddle.  Anyway, we left the park and cycled home for a
> couple of miles along footpaths and busy roads.  When I got home there was
> some minor domestic emergency which occupied me for about 40 minutes and
> after it was dealt with I went to the bike to get the camera to load the
> pictures onto the computer.  No M9 and attached 35 summiliux!

> I ran around the house in a panic and looked in all the places I might have

> chicken impersonation, I jumped back on the bike and set off the way I had
> come home.  After about half a mile I came across it peacefully sitting
> right in the middle of a gravel path unmarked and apparently enjoying the
