Oooh, bad news, indeed.

Might be a good time to raise the topic of camera gear insurance - hands up who has no specialist insurance and has a nagging feeling they ought to? What does standard household insurance cover you for these days?

Re: Stolen Camera Gear

I guess he is right not to hold out much hope of getting any of that stuff back. I would hate to have any of my gear stolen. I do have it all covered and not under the household insurance.

But I think it was a good idea to post the stolen gear on the Web. First, for the remote chance that he gets it back, and second, to possibly find the thieves and let them get their just reward.

In a case like this, I wonder if it would be a good idea to include the serial numbers of the gear.

Re: Stolen Camera Gear

I have asked if he has the serial number in the original forum post, I think it would be useful, as the thieves already have them anyway so it's not going to help them, but would help ID the items.
