Shit. Bobby I am sorry to hear this. I will call you Monday... :mad:

Wow. That sounds like a big hit. Sorry to hear that. That really sucks.

What is the dollar amount? I bet ALOT.

:(

Hint for shooters: Secure your equipment. Don't leave stuff unlocked on site. If you have studio area, install a large safe or secure cage, and lock the stuff down. Combine that with an alarm system (connected to a central office) and it will take the theives longer to steal your stuff than for the police to arrive.

Make sure your "equipment room" isn't a room that models and their boyfriends get into. Never have your equipment out and on display. Make a big deal all the time about making sure the models and their suitcase pimps know about the alarm and the locks and whatnot. Don't be shy.

Too often you will end up shooting girls / models that "need the money bad", and them and their friends will look at your stuff as an easy score.

PROTECT YOURSELF! Sorry to have seen it happen to you, but protect yourself better in the future!

Alex

sorry to hear bout it...this will cause you so much disturbance! glad you are all ok.

One messed up thing about this time of year and about having people you don't know around your expensive (but necessary) equipment. My boyfriend got lucky once. He interviewed a couple that answered a modeling ad he had running. Weeks later he gets a call from someone they had been staying with telling him that this couple had stolen a gun and were on their way over to rob him. My boyfriend called the couple on their cell phone and they answered. He told them he knew that they were on their way and so were the cops. And he had his .380 loaded and ready just in case. The guy tells him he just got out of prison (for home invasion, go figure) and has nothing to lose. The cops showed up but the couple never did. I guess they thought better of it. I am just so glad the guy they were living with had the brains to call and give a warning.
Bobby, that sucks so bad about losing all of your stuff. I just can't imagine the violated feelings you must be having right now. Just thank your lucky stars that whoever ripped you off didn't do it with a gun while you were there. I hope they catch them!

Ok here is the update, First off I want to thank everyone for you support and kind words. Yes this sucks huge. We do keeps things locked down, plus the building itself usually has good security but since the hurricane and the damage that was done to the building and all the repairs that have been going on things have been less that secure and we have on numerous occasions complained to the building owners. All I can say is our words came upon ?deaf ears?. Yes the cops were here and the print guys and there is black powder shit everywhere that does not come off!!!

We have hit all the local pawn shops with list as well as all the camera shops in our area as well as registered all the equipment and serial numbers online. Thanks again for all the suggestions. Our total out of pocket loss is about 36k and we have no insurance (we supposed to be in a secure building) and last year we had a theft from one of our executives and our insurance carrier would not cover the hit because the theft was ?By an employee? after that we dropped the insurance.

So Merry Fucking Xmas to us!

All I can say is this fucking sucks?.and if I ever catch the scumbags that did this??
:mad:

wow that really sucks man....

Sorry to hear about your loss, maybe keep your eyes peeled on CraigsList

Girl - unknown

File an insurance claim and move on. We had 4 laptops stolen back in the spring and it was as simple as filing a claim. That's what we have insurnace for right?
