UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------
Lost half of my Canon DSLR

I was just making a comment, not trying to interpret the law myself. /as Mackguyver points out, the stand your ground law has gotten a lot of bad press for Florida.
The real point is that one of us got robbed by burglars. Thank god that Dylan and his family weren't there and it's only replaceable possessions that were taken. Dylan, my heart goes out to you and your family for the mental anguish you must be going through. The feelings of violation and fear will subside in time. It's been 6 years since my break-in and while we won't ever forget it, we feel safe in our home again.

Guys, I wasn't offended or trying to say anything other than that you need to understand the laws of where you live and that despite the headlines, Florida isn't much different than a lot of other states in terms of self defense laws. As Private says, there are a lot of crazies here in Florida. We have a very diverse population with a long history of crime from the drug trade and the NY mafia, and there are some very dangerous parts of Florida. My dad had his camera equipment stolen in the Florida Keys in an "smash & grab" of his rental car.
As Oldcracker says, the real point here is Dylan's story. He and a few others have been brave enough and kind enough to share their stories. If it makes some us buy insurance or think twice about our safety and our families, I think that says a lot. I'm sure he and his family are dealing with a lot right now and I really hope things get better for him.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Just wonder, I use my home owners to protect equipment I seldom use (rest is on a rider), why was only the 70-200 covered? Is it because you use the equipment professionally or is there a dollar limit to the policy? Then was the 70-200 covered (and the rest not)?
I know it may be painful to rehash this but your experience could help protect some of us as we learn from your experience.

Thanks everyone for best wishes. It was quite busy for me last couple weeks.
@ RGF - I have 1Dx, 200mm, 400mm, 70-200 on home insurance. When I bought the 2nd 5D III, used 85L, and new 16-35 f4 IS I didn't add those items onto policy. It was a mistake from my end.
Anyways, the house now feel little more secured. We added additional glass doors to all main and patio doors, additional glass frames to all windows. New adjustments through alarm company. All these features would add more resistance to break-in(HOPE NOT). The alarm will be in notification mode when the 1st layer glass door or glass frame get broken.
I'm now can focus rebuying my gear back.

Hi Dylan.
It is good to hear from you again, you seem to be in a positive place with this, keep it up and you should get past this in short order and be moving forwards again.
Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Graham.
I can see myself browsing on CanonPriceWatch soon. Will be a big list:
1. 2nd 1Dx, since I have no intention adding the new S or R to my kit. 1Dx II will be costly.
2. 24-70 II, 85L II hoping for tiny discount on new 11-24

Dylan, it's good to hear that you have your priorities straight and have worked to make your home more secure and hopefully that has helped you and your family feel safer. At least you still have a lot of great gear and prices have really dropped with the strong dollar, so that will make it a bit less painful to start buying again.

A very sad incident, indeed. Make sure to check around on any local hobby sites and ebay offerings in your region.
Although IMO if they were able to commit that crime within 5-10 min most probably your equipment is already in another state.
Those are not some stupid crackheads.

Florida's so-called "Castle Doctrine" is covered under Florida Statute 776.013, Home Protection; use or threatened use of deadly force; presumption of fear or death or great bodily harm
1) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using or threatening to use defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if:
(a) The person against whom the defensive force was used or threatened was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person’s will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and
(b) The person who uses or threatens to use defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.
(3) A person who is attacked in his or her dwelling, residence, or vehicle has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and use or threaten to use force, including deadly force, if he or she uses or threatens to use force in accordance with s. 776.012(1) or (2) or s. 776.031(1) or (2).
(4) A person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter a person’s dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence.
I left out a couple of sections that deal with exceptions - like the person forcing entry is a law enforcement officer, or has a legal right to be in that residence or vehicle. But basically this says that when an individual illegally and forcibly enters a residence or vehicle, or tries to forcibly remove someone from a residence or vehicle who has a right to be there, the law presumes that person to be intent on causing bodily harm or death, and that I, as the legal occupant, may use force, including deadly force, to repel them. It also says that even though I may have an escape route through a back door, I have no obligation to use it. I am permitted to "stand my ground" to defend myself and my property once the perpetrator crosses the threshold of my dwelling or vehicle.

Sorry about the breakin, terrible to have happen.
If i could make one point about this, and it applies to me as well.
If you have an alarm system, it will only hasten the departure of your property.
If valuable goods can be seen from a window, an alarm will not stop a smash and grab type event.
I try to keep anything that looks valuable out of sight from windows and doors.
I know my house has been cased several times, but so far I have been lucky there with no follow ups.

Dylan, I'm sure your needs will be clearer this time around and thanks for the congrats. I'm still waiting to take photos of something other than my dark house...but work is extremely busy this week and haven't seen much of the sun. I'll definitely have photos to share after this weekend at the very least.Dylan777 said:Thanks gents

Dylan,
just saw this thread for the first time. been traveling in India and haven't been online as much as usual.
I'm really sorry for the loss of such great gear, however these items are nothing compared to the health and safety of your family.
I'm sure you will recover from this and I sincerely wish you the best.
Thankfully, these things can all be replaced. Stay positive, and I'm sure in the long run this will give you the opportunity to further improve your awesome collection of gear.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your gear. Jared Polin mentioned this website in a video I watched recently. Maybe it could be of some help to you?

Supposedly you can enter the serial number of your camera bodies and it can locate images posted on the internet that originated from them... assuming the uploader doesn't wipe the EXIF data first.
