Damn camera thieves




I put up my 7xi for sale about a year ago at one of the photo stores I frequent. Needless to say, like the other film cameras in the display case, it hasn't moved. (Actually a Nikon 90 something did sell at half the ask price...)

I dropped in for new passport photos yesterday and noticed a new second anti-theft door. Whazzup? Break-in and many digital cameras stolen.

Thieves didn't even touch the used stuff. According to the store owner his insurance would have paid the full asking price of the camera...

So, all you thieves out there, the next time you break into a store, please steal all the used stuff as a courtesy to those of us trying to unload it.

Cheers,
Alan.
