Re: equipment issues this week
About the best thing I've found for covering the LCD on the back of the camera is that clear plastic packing tape like UPS sells. It's easily cut to the appropriate size shape; smooths out without bubbles; stays on good ... but when it's time to replace it, the residue from the glue cleans up fairly easily (just rub it with a fingertip and it balls up peels off). I bought one of those screen protectors when I got the K20D, and I'm much less satisfied with its performance than I was with the plain old packing tape I used on the *ist-D and K10D.

Re: equipment issues this week
I have a small imperfection in my K20D's LCD, it was annoying me. I
feel much better about it now.

As far as I can tell, the only thing that they took was the fannypack that I
had picked up in Chicago, after a fair bit of searching around for just this
pack. Of course it also had my Raynox, some hybrid AAs, spare battery for my
phone, checkbook and probably a couple other things in it. I'm guessing that
it was about a $200 hit.
I think that what happened was that when I closed the trunk there was something
in the way of the latch and the trunk didn't latch. The good news is that they
didn't get the carbon fiber tripod. The better news is that before I went up to
the city I took the bag of lenses I don't use that often and the tammy 300/2.8
out of the trunk. So it could have been a lot worse.
