Thank you.

How was it stolen, grabbed from you in the street, or a breakin ?

The camera was stolen when I was in a restaurant.

Thank you. Hope it will turn up some where...

I hope you had insurance. I know it costs a fortune but it can be worthwhile.

My insurance costs me about GBP 170 a year. Daylight robbery some might say. Each to their own. It gives me peace of mind.

I'm sorry to hear that and i may imagine how desperate would I feel in a case like that. This is why I always keep my camera or my camera bag on me when sitting in a bar or a restaurant. The only way to prevent it to be stolen, unless in the case of an armed robbery, is to always have it under your eyes. Never hang it to the chair or leave it on the floor and, of course, never leave it unguarded. I really hope you will have it back.

Dear forum members

Good news! The M240 and the lens is back in my hands. I am so happy!

Security has controlled a suspect with a silver Leica and this was my camera. I could pick up the Camera at the local police station this morning. Thank you to security and the police of Zug.

Kind regards

PS: And thank you for your kind comments which I will take to heart.

Good news, congratulations

Note to myself....bag at my feet, with the strap around my leg while in a restaurant..

 

Congratulations on the recovery, That's a high-dollar theft. Should warrant a decent amount of time behind bars. Of course, the thief's attorney will try to say the camera has dropped in value since purchase, making it a low-dollar crime, LOL...
