data disappeared from guest user

I put a video and photos on the 'guest user' account on my macbook air, and when I went to log in the next day, all the data was gone. Is there a way to recover that data? It's not in the trash. Also, why did it disappear?

MacBook Air (11-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

You should know that the data you store on the Guest user is temporary, because when you log out of the Guest user, the data stored there is deleted. It's not a bug, it's a feature present in a lot of UNIX-based systems, because the Guest user is prepared for people who doesn't use the computer
