MaxJ1961 Posted April 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2010 I know from experience. Several years ago, my D200 was stolen in Paris. Was not insured. Schedule the camera and lenses separately on your homeowner's or renter's policy. Not expensive to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roey Posted April 5, 2010 Share #6 Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry to hear that. You might want to register your gear as stolen at this site. I don't know much about their business model (make sure to read their terms of use) since I haven't entered anything myself yet, but I usually check there before buying any used gear.

d2mini Posted April 5, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 5, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Schedule the camera and lenses separately on your homeowner's or renter's policy. Not expensive to do. Yup, just a few bucks a month. Totally worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanyasi Posted April 5, 2010 Share #8 Posted April 5, 2010 Wow I'm very sorry to hear that. Out of topic a bit: I didn't know you can get them insured, but I sure hope you did.. There was a detailed a discussion about insurance about six weeks ago so do a search. Call your homeowner policy (or if pro, you business carrier). I insured mine and two lenses for about $200 a year. If you travel, it is worth the small cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted April 5, 2010 Share #9 Posted April 5, 2010 Go to the Police and reported the theft (at any Comisaría de Policía at the downtown), including your serial number and a telephone number and email for contact purposes. The City Council has a lost and found properties office (Oficina de Objetos Perdidos, Ayuntamiento de Madrid). Leave a written complain there as well, describing the camera and including the serial number and phone/email contact data. Report the serial number to Leica, with a copy of the report to the Police. Ask them to alert you if the camera go to Solms for repairing or so. I would recommend to you to write a post at this forum: m8 primeras imagenes • Página principal It is a Spanish forum for rangefinder cameras, and there are some people leaving in Madrid there. If they see something they will contact you. Another recommendation: go to Fotocasión, the largest store in Madrid, and leave a copy of the police report to José Luis Mur (the owner). If someone tries to sell him the camera, he will call the police. The camera may be sold at eBay, but also at http://www.segundamano.es/ Take a look. That's all you can do now. I am very, very sorry for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_K Posted April 5, 2010 Share #10 Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry to hear about the sad news, here is another registry hosted by photo.net for you to file your serial numbers, if by any chance a potential buyer did check out the registry first, say before a transaction via eBay for example.
