Really sorry to hear that, you must be gutted (I'm assuming the OP is Ffordes themselves), I've bought a lot of equipment from Ffordes in the past and it's always been a pleasant experience.

 

They obviously knew what they were looking for if they only took the Leicas.

 

I'm assuming you'll be checking new eBay auctions.

I wonder if Police Officer C. Still is aware that camera SNs can be traced from EXIF data … if you know how. Thus at some stage might be possible to activate an online image search to trace some of the stolen cameras in use.

I've bought Leica and M stuff from Ffordes, Leica Mayfair, Robert White, Classic Camera, Reddot.

 

Isn't it about time there was a global register of stolen kit? It protects us buyers as much as dealers.

 

Tempted to email this to all of them with the Ffordes list. Worthwhile?

I've bought quite a bit from Ffordes in the past and they are excellent to deal with.That's a massive lost of stock. Must be almost their entire Leica inventory.Ernst

I’m guessing it’s all, or most, of their used Leica stock. The thieves obviously knew what they were looking for, it’ll be difficult to sell on so much kit.

I just received the mail from Ffordes and came onto the forum to alert folks to it but am pleased to see I was beaten to it. Yes, dreadful news for such an excellent business. They are my ‘local’ camera store and make a big contribution to the photographic community in this part of the Highlands as well as being excellent people to deal with.

I'm wondering if the thieves specifically targeted s/h Leica stock, knowing that in some 'far away location' the 'skills' exist to change the SNs prior to listing on Ebay.  The thieves must be aware that the actual SNs would be circulated thus preventing easy sale.

I was thinking the same thing, used equipment will be a lot easier to get rid of than new equipment.
