A Colgate couple's tireless efforts to return a digital camera accidentally left in a New York City taxicab to its owner became the focus of an Associated Press article picked up by newspapers and websites around the world.

Brian Ascher and Erika Gunderson , both from the Class of 2003, were the main players in the digital-age mystery.

According to the AP story, Gunderson, who works at Bear Stearns Cos., found the Canon camera in a cab on New Year's Eve. The cabbie didn't know who had left it behind and - surprise, surprise - offered no help in finding the owner.
