Your video...your camera was packaged for shipping better than most camera stores ship!
Nice story during the holidays.

Thank you. The address of the "buyer" turned out to be an international shipping company, in Miami. Seems to be a "junction" for fraudulently acquired goods, which then get shipped off to buyers, in diff. countries.

Ultimately, that shipping company sent it back -- but only after immediate and pretty intense pressure was applied, by Adam from Pentax Forums, the Doral (Miami) P.D. and myself.

Honestly, though, Adam (from PF) was the most critical link in the chain, because he helped steer all the pressure to the most effective target (the shipping company) and that did it.

Very happy to have gotten it back. And happy we used a lot of padding and bubble-wrap... bc that 645Z had quite a journey!
