MY husband and kids are furious icon_mad.gif. We actually missed our flight back to CT looking for the unit. In the mean time we are bored to tears with out our GPS.

I'm sure that you probably already did this, but just in case ...did you leave a description of the lost unit along with your contact information with both M&M and the casino (in the event that someone should turn it in)? Also, although a little after-the-fact, did the 76 have an ownership screen as part of its start-up routine (and if it did, had it been completed with your contact info)? If whoever comes across your lost GPSr is honest and there's a trail that can be followed to get it back to you, the chances are probably good that you may see it again ...but if the finder is less than 'above board', you might want to look into whether the loss is covered by your homeowner or travel insurance.

 

For what it's worth, my 14 year old son and I recently spent a night away in a motel. It wasn't until we arrived back home that he discovered that a $20 bill he had been carrying was missing (a good hunk'a cash for a young fella to lose). We pretty much wrote it off as 'MIA' when, to our surprise, the motel called us at home later that same evening to say that housekeeping had found the $20 when making up our room after we had left (they're mailing us the $20 ...less the $5 that I told them to keep and pass along to the housekeeper).

 

There *are* honest people still out there.

I'm glad that you found it.

I noticed that it took you about 24 hours to get "bored to tears" not being able to geocache. Now THAT'S dedication.

 

A little off-topic, but I'll wager (since this was a Las Vegas story) that probably 95% of us have a waypoint labeled "HOME"

It's been discussed before, but this could be a way for someone who finds a GPS to return it to the owner.
