Camera found in Taiwan belongs to local woman

NEWNAN -- Ever lose something and have it returned to you?

It's happened to us all at some point in our lives. But the story tonight of Newnan's Lindsey Scallon and her lost camera is almost unbelievable.

What was lost is now found.

Wednesday night Lindsey Scallon was showing 11Alive's Jeff Hullinger pictures of her 2007 diving trip to Maui. She was diving at night and in one picture you can see her new $300 camera strapped to her wrist.

However, when she surfaced she realized the camera was no longer attached to her wrists. 

"When I took off all my scuba gear, my camera was missing."

Gone to the deep for all times.

Now, fast forward five and a half years -- Sunday morning she received a text in Newnan from a friend who saw her on a website. The message read: Looks like somebody finally found your camera after all these years, you might want to check it out and I did.

The distance between Hawaii where she lost the camera and where a man found it in Taiwan was 6,000 miles.

A manager of China Airlines found it on a beach while he was vacationing with his family. The water proof casing still in tact so he was able to download the pictures from the camera. The photographs inspired him to track down the owner via Facebook.

"I received an email from China Airlines who is talking to the Taiwan government on my behalf. they have invited me as a guest of the country so their diplomats will get in touch with me."

That's right a free trip for Lindsay where she will be treated like a visiting head of state.

The lesson learned in all of this?

"Yea sure -- If I knew that I would have thrown it in the ocean a long time ago."

Lindsay is looking at a trip to Taiwan in early June. And who knows she may land a big camera endorsement deal too.

She says it's better than a winning lottery ticket.
