Thanks to Gary Friedman in his Blog we now know that Picture Information Extractor is able to extract a Serial Number for the A7R 11 from the EXIF in your photos. This might be useful to use in Stolen Camera Finder. Good Luck!

The strap may well be a good identifier. Will keep a lookout in UK and check the auctions that I go to, from now on. Meanwhile...keep your chin up

All,

For the UK members (I guess) and, especially, those in the South East/Kent specifically.

We have just had our house broken into and, amongst the items 'removed' were the following (serial numbers I have to find and I will update this as and when I locate them):

a99 V SLT body; no damage nor scuffs etc. to differentiate it
Sigma 24-70/2.8 HSM EX DG - again, clean and exceptional condition
Minolta 100-200/3.5 zoom; clean and tidy with no scuffs but no front cap.
3 x Sony batteries for the above
Sony Messenger bag - dark grey with silver grey interior

One discerning aspect of the a99; it comes with a Optech Dyxum printed strap; I know of only a handful of these in the UK and Europe so, if seen on an a99 for sale anywhere - it's mine!!

Clearly, these could be offered as a 'job lot': they were ready gift wrapped for the individual who took them as I was intending to use them in London the following day.

Any news or information will be gratefully received and passed on to the authorities. Hopefully we might find the erst of the items taken as well...

Thanks and best regards,

Neil.

My almost new Sony A7RII camera + lens were swiftly removed from my tote whilst refueling on the A1 at Anagni, somewhat near Rome on 9 September 2016 in the early afternoon. We think the Esso station attendant was involved. Help me catch him, please.

Sony A7R II serial number: 3391945
Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA lens, haven't found the serial number yet.

They also took our Surface Pro 4, which is almost funny, since it has optical recognition and unless can be dismantled, is pretty much a brick.

Theft reported in Bernalda, IT.

So much for a fun vacation...thanks, Italy.

The following items were stolen from our rental car on the 26/7/16 at Brianza Nord Service Area on the A4 between Bergamo and Milan in Italy:

Sony A6000 - 3883882
Sony FE 70-200 F4 G OSS - 1851972
Sigma 30/1.4 DC DN - 51581924
Sigma 19/2.8 - 13263434
Samyang 8/2.8 - 809298882808

That will teach me to place all my eggs in one basket (Fiat Panda Boot)!!!
A thoroughly depressing experience. All the items were reported to the police in Verbania, Italy.

Here is a long list of stolen lenses and other stuff (mostly Canon/Nikon, but also some Sony) from LensProToGo:

Although my friends are all sure that I am involved, I wasn't in MA for the past 1.5 years and I have nothing to do with it...

Hello Moderator team,

once in a while there are posts about stolen photography gear. Now I was wondering if it wouldn't be an extremely useful feature (to add) which would:

1) allow victims to launch relevant data of stolen equipment in a Dyxum data base;

and

2) allow all other users to check in this data base whether serial numbers of equipment to be bought (used) from any source doesn't figure in the stolen equipment listing.

Just a thought. OTOH it may extrapolate what the site is intended for or even cause legal problems, for example, if by error (or intentionally) wrong information is launched.
