[coolegg]

Hi guys, I just got back..

Super suay.........

I was at the beach & I left my camera on the deck chair, turned around to talk to a friend for 15mins & wala, the camera is gone!!!!

@#%*

Damn sian now, gotta spend $$ to get another camera & lens. I lost the hexar with a half case, A&A strap, lens hood with B+W filter :cry:
@#$%!!!!!!!!!

I received a few PMs from a few fellow RF-ers agreeing to lend me their gears while I acquire my next few over some time. Big thank you. But your gears all damn expensive la, dare not touch :sweat:

I'll prob shop around for a used Zeiss body or Hexar again

Did you mean 15 mins or 15 seconds?

If it was really 15 mins, then I rest my case.

Sorry for your loss, a lot of thieves preying on tourists these days.

Saw this documentary about gypsy child thieves in Spain/Europe, a real eye opener.

Sorry to hear about your loss. If you are covered by travel insurance, give it a try to make a claim. However, you will need a police report and your receipt to substantiate it. I have managed to claim for my camera damaged by water. However do note that the maximum claim per item regardless of value is $500. There is also a depreciation charges.

Sad to hear your loss

Hey guys, I'm in China returning home soon.

Sadly, me camera got stolen in Sanya!! I am now camera-less! The hexar got stolen along with a 35mm F1.4 & it all happenend within split seconds!

So guys, always keep your precious camera close to you when overseas!
Its quite fustrating right now becase of the roll of film in there & of course the $$$ I have to fork out again for another body & lens.....

Any bros got a RF to loan for a short period while I try to get another camera? or any for sale?

Think about it, it's a good thing, MP(or M9) coming soon.

 

[scandezz]

Try to claim abit from Insurance and get a new one!

 

[fuzk23]

Sorry to hear that bro.

Like what many have suggested, make a police report and claim it from your insurance. Even if you can get some money back, it's better than nothing.

 

[evilorgi]

condolences to you... next time remember to keep all your things in line of sight... thieves overseas are "highly" trained compared to locals here in singapore...

 

[Royale With Cheese]

wa liao a! So sorry to hear about that.....Royale

Ya lor, now gotta spend $$ to buy another camera, no money for my dental appointment! :bsmilie:

Dude....very sorry about your loss! Hope you can find a replacement soon.

thanks dude, I got a replacement yesterday already!

wah some beaches very scary wan

got alot of little kid pretend to play, actually hor, they are well trained thief

pretend to play catching, then run run run to your mat and knick your thing whilst your eyes are closed enjoying the sun...then run run run play catching...nobody will even notice

alot of people lose things whilst sunbathing coz of this kind of thing

Yep, actually I saw a lot of pickpocketing in the city area of Sanya, near the bus station, they always work at traffic junctions pick pocketing when people are crossing the roads over there.

Go make a police report, i think u can claim up to a certain sum from your travel insurance. I have a friend who claimed once after losing his camera.

Sorry to hear about your loss bro. Let me know how i can help. Yeah, u should make a police report and try to claim against your travel insurance.

Yeah suggest you make a police report and claim from your travel insurance

Yea, ****, I forgot to make a police report in China.... Now dunno how man... Report in SIN also can?

Sorry to hear about your loss..... There are lots of well priced m6 around. Hope u find a nice replacement. Cheers !!!

Yep, did see a couple around but M6 too "refine" for me hahahaha

Travel insurances won't refund you everything unless you get a quote on your gear from a shop. I did the same thing once. But it's for a M4 repair job. Some guy bumped into me & I dropped my camera in Beijing Forbidden Palace. NTUC was nice enough to foot the bill of all repairs by Schmidt. How they pacify every claim is anybody's guess especially if people start abusing the system.

Oh damn, how ah? Hexar no one has been selling it for a long time, how do I get a quote?

Gary, that was a sad thing man ...

It's a good excuse for you to get a Leica ! erm M7 ?? haha

Wa, M7! I wish I had the $$ for it la!

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Yep, I do have insurance for travels. So a local police report here in SIN is alright?

Also, I do not have a receipt for my Hexar, how do I go about explaining its value? Lens also no receipt lei...... Jia lat....

 

[iamryansaw]

oh man i feel damn pain for you. AND THE STRAP TOO. must suck to be you right now. But i trust you will be back with a new camera in no time!

 

[shunzi]

heartpain :cry:
i guess the hexar been serving you very well..

glad you find a replacement set and maybe not a bad time to upgrade to ikon ZM..

 

[hookonclassic]

Gary, feel sorry for your loss...well...if you look at it from another angl...go get yourself another new camera and lens...have a change...try new stuff...venture to new era...

Just let me know, I can lend you a rangefinder camera and lens during this time of distress...

Very sorry to hear of your misfortune; can feel your sense of loss. I had some stuff stolen from me in Chongqing some years ago. I made a local police report and was able to make insurance claims for the stolen items. Fortunately, I also kept most of the the receipts. Best check with your insurance company to see if a SIN report would suffice. I think they would in all likelihood require a China police report.

Since then, I've never let my guard down, even in the better hotels. The pickpockets usually work in teams of three; in the cities they like to hang around the overhead bridges to spot potential victims.

If I need to carry my passport with me, I make sure it's secure. Otherwise I lock it up in the hotel safe together with some spare cash and spare credit card.

Thanks Thomas!

Actually I managed to get a RF already, body with casing & strap. Only thing I am lacking now is a 35mm lens.

Anyone got the Nokton 35mm F1.4? PM me, budget value for money lens la
