Under almost exactly similar chemical conditions I shot a roll of film on a
London tube train, only to find when I got home that when I put the roll in,
I neglected to re-attach the baseplate.

My (new, very expensive) baseplate now has my email address in it.

NB I used to see baseplates come up on ebay and think 'huh'?

Now I look for them and they're never there.
