MUVI camera found in Romiley anyone know this person?
hi,
I was cycling home from Romiley near Stockport and found this at the side of the road, got home looked at the footage and think it belongs to a lady (Sal?) who rides what looks like a grey vintage 90cc moped? Husband on the footage had a bigger adventure/cross style bike. Not much footage to go off as it's pointing at her knees most of the time!
I spotted the web address on the bike so thought this might be the best place to start to re-unite it with it's owner.
So if anyone recognises this lady or the bike from the stills below please post and we'll resolve this mystery!
cheers
Dave

Cheers Rod, they're not cheap camera's, I have one myself. The footage on the camera is of Sal (I think that's her name) shows her bike breaking down as well, sounds like shes had enough bad luck for the time being! Be great to get a result.

An excellent example of great decency and great morals. Manys another person would have had the camera for sale on ebay at the same time you were figuring out how to return it to it's rightful owner. Well done sir!
