A Facebook search for the owner of a lost camera which became an internet sensation has ended in success. More than 230,000 people joined Facebook group called Needle In A Haystack to try and reunite camera and owner.
一場轟動網路，在Facebook上尋找相機失主的行動已經成功收場。超過23萬人加入Facebook上名為「大海撈針」的團體，試圖讓相機回到物主手上。
It was set up by Australian Danny Cameron after he found the camera on the Greek island of Mykonos.
這場活動是澳洲人卡麥隆在希臘島嶼米克諾斯發現這台相機後發起的。
He hoped the theory anybody in the world can be contacted within "six degrees of separation" would lead him to find the owner.
他當時希望，這世界上任何人可透過「六度分隔」理論（即任何人可透過六個不同的人聯繫上的說法），能讓他找到這名物主。
Three friends, Pierre Paoli, Edouard Hostein and Julien Kopp, have now come forward to end the intrigue.
如今已有三名物主友人鮑立、荷士坦和科普出面結束這場猜謎。
"It’s not a hoax, it is absolutely real," Mr Paoli said, "We were on holiday and our friend Marie Cecile lost her camera."
「這不是惡作劇，絕對真實。」鮑立說，「我們那時去度假，我們的朋友賽席兒丟了相機。」
Mr Hostein, who separately named Marie Cecile as the owner, "I confirm that the camera’s owner is one of my friends."
另行指名賽席兒是物主的荷士坦說，「我確定這相機的主人是我的一個朋友。」
Mr Cameron has now closed the group with one last posting： "Congratulations everyone, the camera owner has been found.... thanks everyone for taking part.... I am amazed and in awe of you all.
卡麥隆已經關了這個團體，最後一篇貼文是：「恭喜大家，已經找到相機主人了……感謝各位的參與……。我太佩服你們大家了。」
