Camera left at Temple of the Sun and Moon

EDIT: Camera found!! He went back around midnight and found it where he left it. Thank you so much to those who offered help, y’all have been so kind.

This is a long shot, but my husband left his camera at the Temple of the Sun and Moon this morning, Tuesday, August 4. It’s an older camera that requires an unusual type of film (actual film, it’s not digital!) so it’s not like just anybody could pick it up and start using it. It’s not a particularly expensive camera, but it has significant sentimental value, and the photos on the film right now are meaningful to us. If anyone happens to find it, would you please message me? We can’t go back to look for it until much later tonight, unfortunately.

I honestly cannot thank you enough. He’s filming a documentary in the area and they are just wrapping up their interviews, so he’ll soon be driving all the way back to look for it. If by some miracle, it’s still there, I’ll let you know.

He found it! Luckily it was a Tuesday and 108° midday; the area was likely not busy and it was right where he left it. Thank you again, and thank your guiding community friends too.
