bencoyote Posted December 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) My M-P and 50mm Summilux were stolen in Oakland CA last night. If anyone happens to see them for sale anywhere could you contact me or the Oakland PD +1 (510) 777-3333 They are fully insured and so I'm not crying in my beer but it sure would be nice if these people got caught. Leica M-P SN#4955370 It has a bit of brassing but not extreme mostly around the top edge and on the baseplate. The baseplate has one big area of brassing about half the size of your pinky nail on the back right side. It also has a Leica Artisan & Artist Silk green neck strap. This is an unusual flat woven one. Not one of the round ones. Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH SN#4306886 Anyway, if people could keep your eyes out that would be great! I told my local Leica store and other nearby stores to be on the lookout. Currently these serial numbers are registered to me in their member's portal. Does anyone know if Leica maintain a registry of stolen equipment so that if it comes in for service or someone tries to reregister it, they can notify someone?

FeralCoton Posted December 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2016 I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately all are replaceable and you have insurance. How did it happen? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlmuck Posted December 12, 2016 Share #5 Posted December 12, 2016 http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/ Is a place to register too. If someone posts a photo from the camera (identified by the exif data), they'll notify you. I had an M9 with attached 75mm Summicron stolen a few years back. It really sucks, and dealing with insurance is a cold comfort... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eujin Posted December 15, 2016 Share #6 Posted December 15, 2016 This really sucks. Both for you and for the city of Oakland as well. I'll definitely be on the lookout — my guess is that they will show up on craigslist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted December 17, 2016 Share #7 Posted December 17, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) @bencoyote - That sucks - sorry to hear of your misfortune. Was this a case of sneak thievery or was it a strong-arm robbery? 'Tis the season for giving - or so I thought. Apparently 'tis the season for stealing: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/267453-camera-and-lens-stolen/ Just about the time I have a little optimism - that maybe there is hope for the human species after all - a story such as this pops up to give me a dose of reality.
