A bit of bad luck... :(

I am off to a bad start...a couple of weeks ago I had my camera bag stolen. I was left with nothing but my D70s body which I keep at home, my D300 and all my lenses were snatched...it's been a sad sad sad few weeks for me.

I have KOH coming up and I don't even have a lens to pair to my D70...so I'm not sure what I am going to do at the moment.

 

Thats fucked up dude, from where?

 

Wow, that's shitty. I'm sorry to here that.

 

EFFING THIEVES. Capital punishment instead of free room and board!

 

Got the serials registered?

 

Naaa...none of my stuff was registered. They broke into my buddies car in a downtown parking lot.

 

Homeowner's insurance might cover it

 

That really sucks.

Did you file a police report?

If you have homeowners insurance it should cover them even if they were not in your home.

Rent something if you need to shot soon.

Check the pawn shops

Good luck, Paul

 

Downtown sucks bro, check craigslist

 

not a bad idea to register my serial..During the summer I leave my camera in my truck whenever I go out.

 

damn man sorry to hear that but yeah maybe rent until you figure out what your gonna replace it with? hope you figure something out

 

No homeowners....I'll figure something out for KOH!!

 

Hope all gets better man!

Its sad that theft happens so much now a days.

 

D300 not D3000.

 

Sucks but you should have your valuables insured.

 

Homeowner's only covers what's in your home. You can get a separate policy for certain items no matter where you take it. I've considered getting the same for guitars and now my camera equipment.

Not sure what you can do without the serial numbers...maybe check to see if they're printed on the manuals or box? Even with it, it'll be a long shot. I wish you the best of luck!

 

Bolded part is not true as a blanket statement. My homeowners policy has a Coverage C section (or 3 or III) that covers personal property used inside and outside the home-including "Off Premises Coverage"
You can also schedule valuable items on homeowners or renters policies for extra coverage-which is a good idea for the replacement camera equipment in this case.

 

Yes, as I said you can get coverage for individual items, but in the general sense, your personal property isn't automatically covered by homeowners insurance if it leaves your property...only if you've set it up coverage for said items. I didn't know that it was still under the homeowners policy at that point though.

 

Again- NOT A TRUE BLANKET STATEMENT. I am looking at my policy right now and it clearly states "Off Premises Use" in the section about Personal Property.
I've also discussed this topic (and several others) with my mother and her boss-Both of whom sell insurance.
Maybe your company writes a different/cheaper policy, maybe your state has different legal requirements...but you can not say that homeowners only pays items inside the home covered...cause it just ain't true everywhere you go.

 

MARLON! that sucks man

i feel like this has happened to a lot of my friends.

my buddy had a 5DMk2 and two L lenses stolen from right next to him.

my other friend went to india and he fell asleep on the train and got his D3s and 24-70, and 70-200 stolen .

i cant imagine what i would dooo....i JUST insured all my camera gear, so that gives me a LITTLE peace of mind.
