Why I'm responding to this I don't know........FOR ME (and obviously not you), it doesn't matter if it's "abandoned" or "lost". My point is that the original owner would most likely want a $50.00+ cam or belay device back. So, (I) would post a message here or down at Miguel's for a couple days and see if someone claimed it............if nobody claims it, keep it. That, in my opinion, is the "nice" thing to do. OBVIOUSLY, for you and krampus, and many other climbers, the booty score is more important.
Just a difference in philosophies I guess.
