Is there a way to find pics face book took down

Only if Facebook friends saved them to their own computers. You can also try the Google image search. They store thumbnails of images from the Internet there, so if it was "spidered" (looked at by the Google system) there may be a copy there. You just wouldn't be able to click the link to get to a larger version of it. You'll need to use as specific a search (file name, key words used on the Facebook listing) as you can remember. No guarantees, but it's worth a try.
