Stolen gear - can you keep a look out please?

[muzz]

I hope it's OK to post this information here. Today I became aware of a member of the photoblog community who has just had all of his gear (plus some other goods) stolen from his home, including all of his images from the last 10 years. There are a number of lessons to be learned from his experience, but at the moment it would be of great help if anyone looking at second hand gear could keep an eye out for any of the stuff listed below.

You can find out a few more details here.

Sorry to hear about this!

I hope he had off-site backup (like many of us should) for his images.

Wish him all the best and hope he at least recovers his sanity again.

will keep an eye out in ebay etc..

[dviv]

I sympathise

I know the feeling and it sucks - my only consolation was that I didn't lose any pictures so I can only imagine his pain.

[aim54x]

My sympathies...makes me start to shiver about how to deal with my collection of images....

[alexparker]

Oh...sorry to hear about that...

Anyway I will help to look out any strange trading in ebay

Hope he has backup of his pics
