Here is a nice tracking site for stolen or lost cameras. One need to enter serial code of camera to the site which will search missing camera by searching photo (were taken by the camera) on web. The site's database has over million of camera sightings.
Normally, every photo consist of secret information such as camera model, dates, etc This sort of information is called Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF)
Search algorithms, essentially crawlers, extract EXIF from the photos and tally them with serial numbers and hence track the up-loader of the photos.
A faq related on using the site is maintain here: http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/faq.jsp
Some results: my results.
The 'SAMSUNG SAMSUNG ES70, ES71 / VLUU ES70, ES71 / SAMSUNG SL600' does not write serial information in the exif. See the supported cameras page for a list of models that do.
