Ffordes stolen Leicas

I've dealt with Ffordes before over the internet and seen some videos they've made. They seem to be fabulous people and I hope they are made whole, financially and emotionally.

 

I've seen "far-away places" mentioned twice in this thread, and wonder what it means exactly. Is this an innuendo about particular countries or generically about the world minus Western Europe and the US (where most of this forum is from)? If so, there're ways to publicize these numbers there too.

It's fairly well known that e.g. many 'fake' and 'messed about with' Leica cameras / lenses originate from 'far away places' … no need to specifically spell it out as to exactly where.

That was my immediate thought - such a large theft looks planned with some care. There are many ‘far away places’, though not as far as where I live where people have money, admire the Leica brand and don’t really mind where the goods originate from. Those places also have limited to no arrangements where stolen goods can be recovered. It almost looks like stock for a new shop ... Edited by IkarusJohn

This article on the Beauly jewelry shop theft, which happened two weeks prior to Ffordes, mentions police interest in two men with "a European, possibly Spanish accent."
