I've done similar with my digital cameras. Take a picture of my name,
home town & phone number. Protect (write protect) that image so it
stays every time I download and erase all the images. So many cameras
are too small to put an id tag on. I use a word processor, select a
really huge font and take a picture of the computer screen. Really
large print is easier to read if some less knowledgeable good
samaritan finds the camera. I also put my business card in the case.

Can you find my stolen digital camera for me?

Why would I provide a thief with my personal information? Having a
camera stolen is much more likely than having a lost camera returned.

(Only found a camera once, which I turned in at the park office.)
