Lost half of my Canon DSLR

Oh oh! *applies Macaulay Culkin's look from Home Alone*
I see horror images of a chainsaw getting a close encounter of the 3rd degree with your camera body.
I hope it all turns out to be fixable and preferably at a cost that's manageable.

sorry, but the title does not say anything to me...(or maybe this is slang for something and i'm too slow...)
which half? top/bottom, left/right, front/rear??
how did you lose it? did it fall, dissolve, melt, break or perhaps it grew wings and flew away, teleported to another dimension, evolved to a state of pure energy or just magically went "poof"??

Looking at your signature....you mean half of your gear???
If so, wow! What happened? That is awful considering that you had some great gear!

You are one heck of a shooter! On top of that, you have beautiful children that you took photos of.
If I read your post correctly between the "lines", there seems to be a huge story behind this claim, I wish you'll clarify the mystery for us. Don't hang us with your short title.
The half of your gear you have is still great; my guess is you have a special reason to rid some of your stuff. Whatever the reason, I'm sure it is quite painful, hope there's a remedy for the lost.
Best wishes.

Dylan will disclose when he's good and ready. I'd freak out from a scratch on my gear what more a lose that large.

Dylan, that's sad news and I hope you didn't hurt yourself when this happened as I can only imagine what it would take to split a 1D X in half.

Didn't he have two 5DIIIs at one point, then (maybe?) two 1D Xs? Maybe that's all he means and he's sitting there laughing.Orangutan said:

I've never seen this much action in a thread that is, at best, ambiguous.
There's nothing in the title to suggest anyone getting hurt or anything illegal or foul happening.
"Lost half of my Canon DSLR." DSLR, singular. NOT 1/2 of all his equipment.
So it could be as innocuous as "darn it, I took off my battery grip and it fell into the ocean". Sad, but not the end of the world.
And btw, I don't know about you guys but I'm done with this thread until there's something substantial to talk about.

Hi folks.
Perhaps it's just been deleted from his signature by a jealous moderator!? ;D
It may of course be much more serious than that but how are we to not be flippant about it with so little info? Best to have not said anything until he was ready to tell the story.
Cheers, Graham.

If I wanted to have a conversation about something, I'd start a thread.
I wouldn't start a thread then end my part of the conversation with "the title says it all". It doesn't say it all.
(Dang it, I was supposed to stop posting in this thread . . .
;D )

Thanks guy.
Got broke-in last week, while our family was on mini vacation. Looks like they went through my office 1st, where all my camera gear been stored. Bodies and lenses were stored in Lowpro 200 roller - that was an easy for them.
Gear I lost:
5d iii
16-35 f4 IS
24-70 f2.8 II
70-200 f2.8 IS II
85L II
600EX flashes QTY: 3
The only insured item through house insurance was 70-200.
Working with the home insurance agent right now. Will see...
Sounds like they were in-out within 5mins, the cops were there within 10mins. I been live here for last 10yrs, nothing happens until now.
