Giles Penfound Posted August 31, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear All, I'm very new to the Forum so please forgive any mistakes. I have been a passionate Leica photographer for many years and last week my world was shattered when all my cameras and lenses were stolen. I was shooting a wedding at the Monkey Island Hotel Bray on Thames in the UK and someone smashed into my car and stole everything including all the SD cards with Katie & Alfi's images. Where can I post a list on the forum of the stolen kit Many thanks Giles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 31, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 31, 2011 That is a sad way to enter this forum. At least I hope insurance will cover you. Do alert Leica to the serial numbers of your gear. Some might come in for repair and give you a lead.And publicize all numbers in as many places of the Internet as you can find. That may hinder the fencing of the stuff.

chris_tribble Posted September 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 1, 2011 What a bummer - having also suffered from theft I feel for you. Unfortunately insurance is unlikely to cover items stolen from a car Check Craig's list, ebay and any other local listings. I hope you had a record of numbers (a lesson for all of us).

I hate to write this but in my experience, home insurance doesn't cover professional, i.e. work use. There are several companies who cater for professional photography cover. I did hear of your trouble and Tweeted, Facebooked and Google+ asking for the cards to be returned but sadly haven't heard a thing. Edmond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at it from the viewpoint of a private owner, not a working professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they should be considering extending to cover the M9, and X-1? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted September 4, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 4, 2011 That is awful news and I feel for you. There have been reports in the forum that when the kit surfaces at Leica for repair or CLA that Leica themselves return the kit to the original owner if it has been registered.
