I'm a still stuck on you handed him your camera...I remember once in Germany a young guy offered to take a photo of a family then took off running with their nice camera....

Oddly enough (and by that I mean not really odd at all), camera theft in europe seems to be as common place as lying in DC.

It would be a cold day in (insert your warmest location here) before I let a total stranger even touch my photo gear. If I were to let someone else shoot with my camera. I too would set it on "green box" and instruct them to NOT adjust any settings but just press the shutter button (only after showing where and what the shutter button is). An actual professional would have his own camera at all times.

Mathematical equations apply:

1.Can I catch him if he bolts ?
2.Can I whoop his butt ?

More importantly...

3. Will he scream like a little girl and throw the camera to the ground?
4. Can you beat him enough to counteract the fact that your gear is broken?

Yeah, I dumb it down as much as possible when I hand my camera to someone.

I don't hand my camera to anybody, unless it's my PnS :p You spend more time teaching someone how to take a picture with a DSLR body than you do getting your picture taken.
