maybe you can update the info in Stolen Digital Camera thread at ShutterAsia and PM.com as well.

inform canon service center as well. Give them your serial number.
They will call you once someone send that camera for service.
Good luck!!!

Did you make a report to Canon?
Maybe they keep a world-wide black list of stolen Canon gear.

Dunno why you want to keep the receipt and warranty card with the camera. Did you make copies?

I'm thinking you lost your gear due to a house break in.

I second that..

how to get stolen ?

where it got stolen?

i dont see it... what mem card?

really sorry to heard such news happen..i so shocked.

Haih... Sad to hear that and I understand how bad u could feel. I just got my Psp stolen as well together with my precious shure earphone!!! MTFCKSSAD@!#@$#

Oh no, FC. I'm SO sorry for your lost. If I lost my whole system I would go crazy!

Nevermind about the offer you tried to give me on your 70-210 F4. No worries.

Hugs.

sorry to hear that,
house break in?

Sorry to hear that too fc. How did it happened?

sorry to hear that too, i'm also interested to know how did it happen

Hope for the best for ya bro...good luck

I wonder how much the total lost is.

Where did this happen?

sorry to hear that barca. Mind to share with us how did it happen? I almost carry my gears with me wherever I go except my house in hometown. I not dare to keep my gears in my house in KL. So everyday bring to work and keep in the locker.

OMG... sad news. sorry bro for the lost. hope you can recover it back.

ya, share the story of how it was stolen.

Sorry to hear that bro. Great loss there.

same here. even go out for dinner short while, i will bring out my camera.

Very sorry to hear that. Understand your feeling, hope you will recover soon...

Sorry to hear that bro.

I'm gonna get my camera insured man. All these equipment are not cheap and losing them like FC did would certainly be very stressful.

Any important pictures inside the camera? besure to remove the memory card everytime u don't use it.

really sorry to heard about it... how did it happen?

Finally.. there is a thread bout this.. I'm glad u open this thread up fc.
Anyway, friends.. fc inform me about this. he said that it was a house break ins..his whole gear lost as well as his lappy..
Hope u guys are under lookout especially when someone offers to sell stuffs as in fc's signature.. For most of the stuffs (350d body, kitlens, bge3, 580ex), i think it might be quite difficult to guess if its stolen stuffs if it were in the market/online sale.. but the thing that u can always lookout for is that 70-210f4 lens which i think is quite rare now..

fc.. sabar jelah.. and yes... pls dun jump system my friend... go for 5d.. hehe..

maybe fate tells u to upgrade to a semi pro series / switching brand

Sorry to hear that brother...

Feel bad for you bro. Hope that you can recover back ur stuff.

shocked!!
have you made police report?
wahh... nowadays, so many house breaking la...
even afraid to put valuable thing at home....

ps: my condolences to fc...

just an advice, bring all of ur valuables to ur office or wherever u go.
as for me, i bring all of my camera gears to my office.. each and everyday.. weekends, i bring them back home.. even when i'm sleeping at nite, i keep them in my bedroom and lock the door.. basically, the camera gears has become a part of me.. in addition to my wallet, phones and my IC of cos.. hehe..

man , dont said like this , he is so sad now ...

ok guys, no stupid comments like "time to switch sides" or "it's a sign to switch sides". you wouldn't like it when people say those things when you lost your gears, would you?

anyway I'm going to start a thread for Stolen Items. since many people buy used parts. never know la.

OK! here it is.

good move goldfries..

but anyway, i think the info of where/location of the item was stolen also need to be mentioned in addition to the info of the items stolen.

just my 1cents..

yeah. 'gears become a part of us' is the idea. Even if you bring out for dinner or something, make sure you don't just keep them inside your car. When you are in LRT or walk on the street with your gears, always be more alert. I only dare to keep my gears in my house at hometown which is armed with alarm system when I'm out.

Added on February 17, 2008, 2:01 amVery sorry to hear about your losses.
Having said that,the only way to safeguard
you expensive equipment is to make sure you
never leave it alone in the first place,even for
a second.

Thieves have become so bold and are using sophisticated
homing devices that they will never break into an empty car.

They know there is something valuable inside,as they cannot afford to guess!.

Your CMOS battery either in a Laptop,Camera,etc will provide them the
answers...that there is something valuable.

Of course keeping a safe in the house would be a good idea,but you would need
a Good Safe,and these are expensive.

But sometimes no matter how careful we are, we could never tell.

Maybe getting your equipment insured would be a good idea for those with
expensive equipment!.

Cheers

Many times I heard that thieves have device to check/detect if there's any electrical/electronic devices on car. But I've never seen such a device before. I wonder if such device really exist or it's just a pure speculation?

There are so many electronic/electrical devices in a car: Radio, battery, ECU, etc and I do not see how the so call detector can differentiate these devices base on the wave (if it really can be picked up).

Yeah, plus the fact that no such device has been seized by police anywhere in the world before...

I think the thieves are expert scouts, ie. they stake around parking lots observing the interior of a car and try to notice any thing that might tell that the owner is an IT worker and/or has a high probability of having a laptop in the car. Anyways, a laptop bag on a seat is a no-brainer... or, maybe they might stake out near a place where IT workers work at, and then it's easy to identify which cars parked there has an owner that carries around a laptop.

If there is such a detection device, I'm not sure if it is picking up signals from Li-ion batteries. That's the only component that a laptop has freakin' lots of, compared to other electronics that's natively in a car.

Sorry for ur loss TS..

Bro n sister.
We should use an inexpensive bag ( from those chap ayams ) to cover the expensive dslr bags(crumpler..etc..etc..) to hide the things underneath it. got this idea from a forummer who show how his dslr bag look like in one of the forum. The thief might have stalked u goin for outing then targeted the victim house or car. Even i can detect u carrying ur gadgets if u wear a branded dslr bags from miles away. .

If inside the house, maybe u can store ur precious things somewhere that is unreachable by normal reachage. , or putting an alarm system at ur gadgets.

The device has been confirmed by our police and has been shown in the news on TV as well, IIANM.

Source please?
