Finding STOLEN NIKON/NIKKOR LENSES

[Spirited Earth]

Hey Steve,

Sorry for your loss, that's a pain in the butt, those are expensive lenses.

The only other site I could suggest would be craigslist.org. If you're not familiar with them, they have classifieds for almost all the major cities in the US. Unfortunately there are some unsavoury characters who utilise it.

I heard about a similar situation with another person, they stated they were going to check pawn shops and the like in their area. It might even be worth it to check out anyone who might sell used photography equipment in your area as well.

Good luck!

Hey Steve, that sucks to hear about your loss!!

I'd check with the local Pawn Shops right around the area where the theft happened. I'd also check on Craig's List, as it's free to post stuff on there, so a loser theif would proably do that rather then go through the hassle of Ebay or anywhere theat might cost them money.

Sucks to think that our hard earned money can get snatched so quick, really makes me want to keep a tight watch on my equipment.

Good Luck in finding your equipment

Gordon,

I have State Farm homeowner's and auto insurance and I carry a separate State Farm policy on my photo equipment. I think I pay just a little over $1.00 per hundred for the policy. I didn't want to tie my photo equipment to my homeowner's policy since I wouldn't want any claims filed for the photo equipment to influence my other policy rates/coverage.

Steve, I'm sorry I can't offer any good suggestions. I don't think anyone who stole your equipment at random would be aware of most places that deal specifically with used photography equipment. I also don't think they would be advertising in the paper, craigslist or anywhere else since they know someone would be looking for just such an ad. My guess is that they would probably be trying to sell it on the street or at a pawn shop.
