I was up in Detroit, Michigan for about a week, and the last day I was there, my van was burglarized, and my DSLR was stolen! I know, I know, you don't leave expensive cameras in vehicles in a city like that. I didn't, except for the one day that I did, and of course that day, it disappeared!
Of course I filed a report with the Detroit police, but I must confess that I don't have much faith that anything will come of it. So I thought I'd post here, after all, chances are sooner or later a new "owner" will be on PF.
So, here's the deal: I'm missing 1
Pentax K-5IIs and 1
Pentax 18-135mm WR lens (it was missing the lens hood). It was enclosed in a cheap
Opteka "holster" which also had a spare
WASABI POWER battery and
16 GB and 32GB SD cards. There was a 32GB SD in the camera as well, with a couple of hundred photos on it. Thankfully, I had a backup of all the photos except for the week there in Detroit. AFAIK, all of my SD cards have contact info in .jpg and .txt format.
According to the Serial # card in the box, the serial number is: 4450129
According to
Stolen Camera Finder the serial number is: 4450130 and the
internal serial number is 7049947
I'm kind of in a fix now: How long do I wait to see if it
might be returned, before I buy something to replace it? If anyone has a cheap K-5II or IIs or 18-135 WR, then they just might make my decision easier.
