Image Capture lost my pictures

Have you been setting Image Capture to delete the photos directly after the import? Otherwise Image Capture would not erase the photos. The "Delete after Import" option is risky, because you cannot repeat the import, if something goes wrong. It is much better to delete the transferred photos manually, after you have checked that the transfer has been successful and you have made a backup copy on your computer.

To rescue your photos, stop using your phone immediately, then search for data recovery software, that can recover deleted photos from the phone model you are using. I do not know what to recommend for Android devices, but the longer you are using the phone after the deletion the more photos that could still be recovered will be overwritten by new data and permanently deleted.
