Hi Dylan.
First my sincere apologies for my flippant remark, this is a horrible thing to have happen.
My workshop was broken in to some time ago, but I had just dumped most of a dismantled car in the entrance and fortunately the thieves left without bothering to look further back, I still felt quite violated. My foreman and friend had his home burgled and the aftermath of that was horrible to witness, it made him feel very vulnerable, and cost him a fortune in extra deterrents.
I do hope that you and your family are able to recover from this both financially and more importantly psychologically.
All the best.
Graham.

Dylan, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's terrible news and I hope you have some luck with your insurance agent. The keys will be proving you owned it (Canon's registration site should help with that, plus B&H or whoever else you bought from), and making sure they don't consider it "commercial use". I don't remember your website looking commercial at all, but they may try to throw that at you so be prepared.Dylan777 said:
Also, I know the worst part is the feeling of being violated and not feeling safe. I hope you are able to comfort your family and get some kind of security system or something to feel safe again. Sorry again to hear about your experience.

So sorry to hear about this happening. Having people violate your personal property is damaging both financially and emotionally. I’ll have to replace my German Shepherd when he’s gone, he’s a pretty good deterrent to burglars.Dylan777 said:
This is the sad part. Chances are your homeowner insurance will only cover up to a limited amount without having the items scheduled. I’m guessing they’ll pay to replace the 70-200 and probably another $1k or so, depending on your coverage. I hope I’m wrong cause that's not even close to recovering what you lost . . .Dylan777 said:

Ouch!
That is bad news. Having had my home invaded 4 times I sympathize. Luckily, for me, they never got much but it is scary nonetheless!
Don't dwell on it, get what you can from the insurance then just get on with your life. Don't let the Scroats who did this get you down! If you do then they have won.

So sorry to hear about that, man! I hope you recover at least part of the value and those thieves rot in jail!
I made a big mistake this weekend- I went to a bar/restaurant with my cousins at 11.30 am and parked my car in the street. I think my cousin didn't close the door properly (although I had locked the car and armed the alarm), and the curbside door must have come unlocked. When I returned at 1.30 the door was completely open- you can understand my condition from the moment I saw my car in that state up to when I checked inside. I am not sure how, but my equipment, a 6D, 35L, 135L, 600EX-RT and an Eos M were all untouched. This was a Saturday and there were close to a hundred people at the bar watching the India-Pakistan cricket game.
I feel very lucky and forewarned- I still have not insured any of my gear and should do so before something really bad happens. I suggest everyone do the same. I don't think I will get another chance to get off scott-free like this.

Ouch, that hurts. "Sorry for your loss" is not appropriate, as, after all, it's just "matter", but nevertheless: empathy from me!
Does anyone know, what the chances are to get the gear back?
I mean, in the digital age, every camera imprints its serial number in every EXIF and I believe every lens does so, too. And nobody always cleans every EXIF information set form each end every photo he posts somewhere in the web or sends in to make prints. And the camera and lenses are pretty unserviceable by Canon, as Canon would probably check the serial number when one of the items is sent in for repair, cleaning or any other reason, or wouldn't they?

Dylan,
The important thing is that you and family are safe.
Hope the feel of vulnerability is short. Some protection for future is in order. We should all learn from this unfortunate incident, and have some preventative measures.
As for the gear, hopefully the insurance will cover that.
My sympathies for you.
