Wow.
So sorry to hear about this.

That sounds like about $13,000 USD worth of equipment.
Ouch.

Insured?
I hope so...

Ok I have no where near the gear this guy has, but do most of you pros
insure your gear? I picked up a 20D and a few lenses so far and there is no
way I could afford to replace them if this happened. I'm thinking I need
some insurance or something, I get paranoid every time I leave the house
without my gear, just walking around with 3 grand on your neck seems like it
could get you in some trouble (I'm only about 160 lbs but they would have to
pry it from my cold, dead hands).

Is your life worth fighting over just 3 grand of material goods?

While I feel for anyones lose -- I had 17K worth of my stuff stolen from my
apartment while away on vacation several years ago -- even 17K is not worth
dying for no matter how violated theft makes you feel

material things can be replace - life can not -- at least not if you are not
a frankestein or is that frankensteen..

BTW -- I had renters insurance that pay for most of the stuff to be replaced

I'll also look at my coverage rules as I tote around my photo gear on
vacation -- may need another rider if I ever get that much $$ in lenses and
camera

You really should insure them. If you are not shooting commercially, then
household and personal belongings insurance should do it. If you are
commercial then you need commercial insurance, but it covers a lot more.

You have to be bit careful with household insurance. Although the
maximum total cover may seem okay, they may have a limit on individual
items, and they may call a camera kit one item. Check their policy, and
get additional cover if needed.

Did you write the serial numbers of all the parts of the equipment ?
This can help greatly finding what you were stolen.

Check e-bay it might be there.

Sorry to hear about it. I had a lot of equipment stolen from me a few years
back.

Good Luck.

Some people might think that the forces of natural justice were at work
here.

A rich Westerner, who slum-tours one of the poorest countries on earth
carrying equipment equivalent to many years wages for a wretched indigenous
labourer, gets relieved of his treasured possessions.

Do the Indians have a version of Robin Hood?
