Photo bag stolen from car

[CraniumDesigns]

Overnight my camera bag was stolen from my car parked in front of my house. Lost my 5D Mark II, a 24-105L, a 17-40L, and a 50 1.8. About $5000 worth of gear. ****!!!

Any advice? Should I keep an eye on Craigslist?

Definately keep an eye on craigslist and local paper ads. Although unless you have anything that can easily say its your gear, its a hard thing to prove. If the thief is smart and is actually going to sell it, he is going to piece it out and not sell it as a lot.

I seriously hope your insurance will cover it.... total bummer.

That sucks! I would be looking all over town for it, this would drive me crazy. Would your insurance cover it? If I lost that much equipment, I surely will make an insurance claim. Sorry for your loss and good luck.

i doubt my insurance covers it. that would probably fall under renters insurance or something. im so freakin bummed out. took me forever to get all that stuff and i JUST got the 5D like 2 months ago.

I'm really sorry. Worked your ass off to get all that stuff and someone just grabs it... Makes me sick.

Hope you catch a break.

Doubt it all you want but call your agent to find out for certain. I know that my insurance would cover it. Unfortunately, you might have screwed yourself with your doubt. SOME insurance policies require that the police be contacted within 24 hours of the discovery.

I hope your Serial Numbers are recorded. Make sure the police have those.

yep. i'm that guy. a combination of bad luck, messed up people, and my bad decisions.

let this be a lesson folks. at least YOU don't have to replace $5000 worth of gear.
