Adventure!

Hello all!
So I have lil' story. For those of you who know me well you know I have had really bad luck with cameras, I mean its almost freaky. I am on my fifth camera in about 5 years. They either get lost, stolen or broken. So my new friend Ritchie and I went to find these waterfalls in Laksman Jhula. Now we wanted to go to ones we heard about off the beaten path. Its so crazy busy here because of Kumba Mela that there are literally millions of pilgrims here. You can say its the best time and worst time to be here. Typical India with the dichotomy. So we get to this pool of water (no waterfall) and we see 2 lil boys swimming so we joined them. I took some pictures of them and showed them pics of themselves I mean they probably never saw a camera! Then a third boy comes and jumps in and he gets a bit annoying splashing us and stuff. All of a sudden they all get out and start running. Ritchie knew something was up and asked where my camera was.. they stole it and ran!! Ritchie starts running after them, I gather our things and start down the 2 mile road we climbed to get here. I ask this man at an ashram if he saw 3 Indian boys and a white dude running-he pointed in their direction. I find Ritch with 2 older men and we asked some questions, found these other kids and got one name of one of the boys.We started running in and out of the villages trying to sneak around and find the boys. We caught a glimpse of them and they ran into the main area where we'd never find em'. We went to the cops. Ritchie jumps on the back of the cops motorcycle to go searching....no luck. We however had the name of the school they attended. The next day we go to the school with the policeman. Deepak never showed up for class....so the cop told us to come back later in the afternoon. After Prem Baba's last satsang :( we went to the station and he tells us this whole story of how he got the camera after he beat one of the boys with a stick!!!! He was so proud of his accomplishment I can't tell you. I got my camera back!!! I am hoping this breaks my bad camera karma...even though I don't like the stick beating part, but I used to get the belt...
