I don't think Canon will do it either: but "Hey, a once-in-a-lifetime-shot, quick I have 2 seconds to get it ... "
WTF! I had my gear stand next to me for just a second, and now it's gone!

The Pin was entered wrong 3 times. Camera will now self-destruct!

Or worse than self-destruct:
The PIN was entered incorrectly 3 times. Camera will now only function in green box mode.
NOOOOOOOOO!
Ellen Schmidtee:
I had an idea attacking the problem from a different angle: a two parts device, one attaches to the owner's belt and the other attached to the equipment, the two communicate wirelessly to estimate the distance between them, and if it crosses a settable distance, both emit an alarming sound.
This can protect against equipment being stolen or forgotten, and can be used for other purposes, e.g. childs getting lost in a crowd. It would be easy to attach to a camera using a miniature version of bike locks on the loops holding the neck strap, but lenses are a different story.
I've consulted a knowledgeable businessman I trust, and he says this idea can't be protected by a patent, so developing it is a problem - if it succeeds, it will be immediately copied, making it unprofitable.
