earleygallery Posted March 5, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2017 Is this a scam? New member and first post is asking people who think they lost something to PM him? Odd…. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeven Posted March 5, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 5, 2017 I don't think its odd. I think its good to see that someone is making an attempt at returning an expensive item that they found. I'd rather think the best before thinking the worst. But that's just me... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bah212 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) no this is not a scam.. my son found a Leica item & knowing the value of it, I'm helping him try to find the owner. I'm a long time Leica owner, M4 since new in 1975, I read this forum from time to time, but do not post because I have little to add to the discussions Edited March 5, 2017 by bah212 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnySeven Posted March 6, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Thank you bag212 and your son for posting this! On behalf of everyone who has lost a valuable thing. I lost a Leica Dlux 4 a few months ago, never got it back so it's warming to see someone make the effort to return a lost item. Thank god it wasn't my M but more than the thing itself it was the images gone that hurt... P>S> please let us know if the item makes its way back to its home.

jaapv Posted March 6, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just be careful with information one provides. Common sense. We presume good faith, but caution is wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier Posted March 7, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2017 As the title says, a piece of Leica M equipment was found in NYC. If you can identify when, where and what it is send me a PM & we’ll arrange its return. Not sure exactly how to proceed with this idea, but if the piece of equipment has a serial number on it, it might be possible to find the owner. The police may have a stolen item record somewhere if it was stolen and abandoned by the thief (not sure why the thief would do that, but you never know). Even better, Leica themselves may have a clue: when I brought my M9 for repair and again for sensor cleaning, they took note of the SN and they could dig up the repair record. I assume they track things they repair. So, it might be worth asking them. Kudos on your effort anyway (I had non photo equipment stolen in the past which was a painful experience, so I like to see when other people do the right thing).
