sorry King Tiger, bad news indeed.
I was thinkg a couple pts that could be potentially explored,
1. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KEEP or can SEEK OUT somewhere a picture of your that TAMRAC Bag..say maybe a friend's sneak pic of you lumbling it, showing a sticker here, a special stitch there, A BRIGHT YELLOW NIKON PATCH etc etc... that makes the whole bundle unmistakable, this way if the culprit (or the next buyer) happen out on the streets, theres a mightly good chance one the many CS-ers hereabouts might spot it and report back. i hate to say this, or is the Bag so obstensious that the guys next table whos not really into photog might have a mighty good idea the worths, as I happen to konw from past exp, that usually (note, usually) waiters/resses are way too busy to watch for whats UNDER the table..its usually the opp table or adjacent ones thats 'eyeing'..update: howabout pics of the rest missing stuff too so everyone can have it in memory
2. in addition the ATMs and Rest's Cams, how about trying all the Mall's EXIT, LIFT and CARPARK Cams (also those near the autopayment machines..usually people who eat in such places are better er economically off..pls pardon!)...BETTER YET, put a request to the nearby TAMPINES MRT STATION, to request if anyone or their CAMs came across your particular BAG (your pic would come in useful already..)
3. Not sure if this is helpful, perhaps post a warning to all you frequent forums and their respective webmasters, ie ebay sg, classified to keep an open eye and maybe even offer a reward for info..at least makes it VERY VERY difficult for an photog outsider to fence this exclusive item in public..ALTERNATIVELY, do exactly the opposite!..go post here there to post to buy a good Nikon/Canon/Minolta cam, no wty's ok, offer good CASH, then lure out the seller..but dont be to conspicuous la
GOOD LUCK :thumbsup: ...everyone needs it.
or perhaps e cafe should re-check their waiters on duty that day and who cleared e table etc ba.. i think they have a table no for all their tables.. like mentioned above, can always check who was e next customer at that table after you...
