I did, and it is. Before I posted I mounted the SD card in my PC and verified the loss. ./Pictures and ./Video on the SD card are spectacularly empty. They also weren't visible from a file manager on the phone. I said 'it seems' to allow for my being mistaken, not for my not bothering to check. I recovered a lot of deleted images overnight, but can't check them until I get home. At least take the time to check before calling me an idiot
