Sorry folks, indeed, it happened at 22:30! Duh! When I researched on eBay what you're supposed to do in such cases, every result I found was eBay saying that the primary thing to do is report to local law enforcement & have them deal with it. To be honest I suspect some significant losers in the...

Unfortunately not. The incident was reported the next day, but the time of occurrence was reported by me as 10:30 (as I saw it taking place at the time). The eBay seller has now returned contact & seems amenable so far so fingers crossed it should get sorted fairly quickly, well, quickly by...

Latest update is that the local police (to the ebayer) attended this morning & served a "section 66 PACE" on them for the items which states that they cannot sell/dispose of the kit pending investigation so things are ticking along now. As for insurance, yes, I do have photography insurance...

As above. I'm 1000% certain that at least some of it (the most expensive part) I can prove is mine with purchase receipts & identifying marks which I have photos of. However, the auctions are due to end sooner than I suspect Police will be able to action anything so, in the meantime, should I...

Hi folks. I had some gear stolen from the boot of the car outside my front door a few months ago (actually saw the scrote at it though the window but didn't manage to catch him - longer story). Anyway, about £2k+ worth taken including a top-end tripod/head combo, decent monopod/head &...
