Rus, your response post to BK's post is ridiculous.
Yes, you are not coming out ahead when you view the loss of your camera item as being away from you. However, the hotel found your item despite your own carelessness and now you want them to pay for it's shipping, or what you believe to be a "reasonable" charge for such????
Just as certain hotels now charge for the receipt of packages due to the time involved in taking staff away from other duties, etc., even if the shipping and return charge is somewhat inflated -- and you don't know if that amount covers the cost of insurance for the item -- something I think you don't even consider despite your being prone to losing things, you should count your lucky stars that they found the item and are willing to ship it to you.
Some would say you are looking a gift horse in the mouth, while others might say that you are just an ingrate........
