Hi everyone,

It’s been a while since last I posted here and I wish my motivation to do so again was for a better reason.

My car was recently stolen from the front of my home in Concord and unfortunately the thief received a very nice bonus - my camera gear was in the trunk!! Including:

Forest green Tamrac back pack
EOS-3
Rebel XTi
17-40L
28-70L
100-400L IS
550ex flash
various filters and accessories

Kirk BH-1 Ball head and Boden 3021B (Manfrotto)tripod

Please keep an eye out for any of the items listed in ads and pay special attention to:

No box and/or warranty card(s) included
Non technical/unusual descriptions
No instruction manual(s) included

I can be reached at tlujan@msn.com or (925) 639-8347.

If anyone helps me recover my gear, I will give them (all I have left):

a Minolta 2,820dpi film scanner
a Vivitar (canon mount) 19-35mm Lens
a Bogen 3001B tripod
a hug (only if you want one)

Thanks

If you have the serials of the lenses and camera, file the info with the police.

Depending how old is the gear, and if you paid with a credit card, you may have insurance. Lotsa cards double the waranty time and also offer lost/stolen insurance.
