Now Doc, you know that most folks in Canada can't have such toys. As an FYI for everyone....most home owner insurance policies will cover you camera gear automatically. Even in your car.

HEY, i KNOW HOW IT FEELS. Lost my camera gear out of my car. Went to a ceramics show and when I came back to the car, Window was busted out and the Lowepro bag and all its contents were gone. Nothing else taken. ! Such pain and agony. I had just finished purchasing the 10D and several L glass types, flash, Cf cards etc. $5,000 US worth. Insurance was not as sweet as it had been represented to me when I bought it. They ended up paying about 2/3 of my replacement cost. It was represented as being replacement cost insurance too. So it goes, Its all history now. The police were sympathetic, but only good was, had the police report for the insurance company. I wish you the very best of luck in getting everything replaced. Again I can feel with you. Ouch Ugh Agh cry and then get back to it. Cheers

Pete, no, I carry my CF cards in a seperate bag, I carry that when I shoot and took them inside with me to proccess them.

Doc, you are comparing eastern Europe to the United States? The fallout of the USSR, to the "greatest" nation on earth? I have experienced three car breakins in my life, two happened in the Big Apple(maybe the Ontario plates are a target.............) and finally now here.

I know they say widespread poverty is a major contributor to crime. That explains Eastern Europe, Africa, South America, Asia. Thats the problem though, these supposed "great nations" sit in the middle and even on top of the worst places on the face of this planet when it comes to crime.

Doc, I have been thinking of starting a gun collection some day. But an AK47? lol

What's big apple?

As for poverty...

It always amazed me. The social/municipal planning and engineering of such regions as Bronx...

If you happen to live there, and have a kid... What are the options?

1) To keep him locked up all his life to isolate him from the street life?
2) To let him "go out and play", knowing what the envionment is gonna do to him?

It's a never ending circle...

It's not the Soviet AK though. Those are on the prohib list in canada.

The one I posted is a czech semi-auto version... with a similar looking gas tube. Shoots same ammo and semi auto only though. Still great fun.

Ak's are for the russians.. atleast here they are
Some how I recommend you get your hands on a lovely M4A1...

I hate being robbed! Happened once years ago. Now I don't care.. Go ahead and steal my 1-2 or 3 year old gear. I got real good insurance and by the end of the week I will have all NEW stuff. I would hate to lose any "good" pictures I had taken though! If there were any...

I think that those of us in Canada should rethink how good (or bad) we are. This is such a tragic event.

my advice for something that is stolen is to like check ebay throughout the week and look for recrntly added auctions similar to ur equipment, and if they are coming from Toronto, u can get the police to investigate that.

Bets are once the thief sees the size of the cam and all the fancy equipment he will most likely try to get a quote and sell it, and once a buddy of mine had his 20D stolen, then the next day 2 people from toronto posted a 20D on ebay, and the cops investigated and one of the guys was the thief so hes in jail now and my buddy has his gear back. So its a possibility. Low chance but worth a try

Persian ... First off I'm in Toronto and would like say Yo how you doing. I don't have insurance on my stuff, but # one rule, never leave anything in site in your car anywhere. I bring my notebook and camera with me everywhere and I find a a good napsake from henreys does the trick.

Bro I will keep my eyes open for your ****. Man that is a pretty hard lose and personally I think people that steal **** are just lame and don't realize the hard work and time that we put into our equipement. For some reason you get really attached this stuff and it just ripps your heart out... if they only knew.

Oh well take care

How did the Richmond PD respond? I had my truck broken into a few years back on North Boulevard in the Fan, they didn't do a damn thing. Granted, having one of the highest murder rates in the country might have something to do with that, but...

In my case it was in the county. the police responded, took a report and filed itfor the ins. co. I got all new equip that time !!..Ha the murder rate in Richmond doesn't bother me too much. Look at who is murdering who!! Drug Dealers, murdering drug dealers, Yeah!!!, I say give them all UZI's

I suppose that's one good thing about Henrico, their cops are on the ball.
