Nicely done Darren. But hey, it probably took you 5-10 minutes. Would it be worth spending that time just to haul away a bunch of Sony, Tamron, Minolta, Konica, Rokinon, Osawa etc. gear? Though I admit the old Pentax gear would obviously be tempting to any knowledgable thief… (;-) stan > On

I agree, Larry. With all of the online info today a good Google sleuth can probably track down your home address with little problem AND also find out via your Facebook page when you will be out of town on business. One might as well give a thief a written invitation. On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at

I often browse through a travel/vacation message board forum; one of the many sub-forums within the site is centered on travel photography, and one of the continuing threads there is “List Your Cameras.” As I understand it, this is a holdover from early days and was intended to facilitate
