jdlaing Posted August 11, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2015 Send an email to Leica informing them of what happened. They will put it on a registry and is it gets sent in it will be seized. Also go to stolen camera finder website and register. Sorry you had this happen and I know how you feel. It happened to me a couple of years ago.

rafael_macia Posted August 14, 2015 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Good you post the loss here. I for one will be on the lookout on the used market front especially craigslist.com .... a real "thieves market". If you itemize the loss in a police report, than it is a for sure tax deduction. Good luck! ralph Edited August 14, 2015 by rafael_macia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jto555 Posted August 17, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, this site might be of some help: http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/ You drag and drop a photo from your stolen camera and it matches the serial number to other uploaded photos from your camera. Hopefully the new 'owner' will upload a photo and you now have some (very little, I know) hope of tracking who has the camera. It lease it might help.

ncpaladin Posted November 8, 2016 Share #14 Posted November 8, 2016 I called the pawn shop directly and spoke with a lady there. She states that the lens was run through a police database and came up clean. Obviously someone just bought a rather costly stolen lens at a very good price. She said she'll inform her boss, but chances are it will be shipped out to the buyer. I kept a PDF of the listing page and a blowup photo from it showing the serial number, if it is needed or desired. I told her that there isn't a Leica owner on the planet that would pawn off a very recent Leica lens of this cost without a rear lens cap, case, box and papers. We're just too anal!
