Just saw this video of camera gear being stolen. The value has got to be over $10,000 and though it was funny as hell.

Tiger sharks are known to eat just about everything. Things like license plates to turtle shells have been found in their stomachs :shock: I would not be surprised if down the road, in a couple of years they find the camera in the sharks gut :lol: I think what is most interesting is having so many Tiger Sharks in one place! Ive never seen that before.

I wonder what the insurance company said when they issued a claim lol

One of the responses said the photographer did recover the camera some distance away but they didn't mention what damage was done.

I saw the title "gear stolen" but never imagined the culprit

The photographer got all his gear back, but it cost him an arm and a leg.

Sure you can point fingers at the innocent shark, but the real culprit was the Remora at 0:18
