Worst Day Ever

[Johnny X]

Yea, So I was out detecting my friends yard. I had just boughten a coffee and I pulled up into his drive way. So I get out set my coffee and 300 dollar sony cyber shot digital camera on the hood of my car. He yells for me to come around to the back of his house. So not thinking about it I left the camera and my coffee on the hood. We were back there maybe 15 minutes... come back... and you guessed it.... the camera is gone. Yea someone stole it. I have had it for less than one week! gah... and to top it off they spilt my french vanilla coffee! Those JERKS! Eh... I guess they needed it more than I did. I found a few coins the oldest being 1959... but the 1.27 cents in clad isn't going to pay for a new camera...

Steven-
Sorry to read about the theft of your camera.Too many scrugs in the world that would rather steal from hard-working people then go out and get a job themselves. Continue to keep an eye on the pawn shops,it may still show up after going through a few hands.

Good Hunting!

That's horrible Johnny X, I feel very bad for you. If I were you I would be crying my eyes out and feel worried and stressed out for a few months A very similar thing happened to my dad. I was 8 years old and I was taking pictures with his $200 camera and I accidentally left it on the back bumper. He only had it for a few months. I felt pretty bad.

Another time my $100 microscope fell off the table after a few months. It still works, but not as good as it used to and the top comes off whenever you touch it. That got me pretty stressed out.


Sometimes these things just happen..

Not long a go I was in a not too savory neighborhood and was using my ACE with the 4 1/2" coil to? run along some sidewalks.? My almost new GTI 2500 was in the cab of my pickup.? I was out of sight of the truck for several minutes and when I came back I discovered I had left a door unlocked!? I nearly had the big one until I discovered my 2500 was still in the cab of my truck!? Then I realized I had probably witnessed a miracle!? I swear I could hear a heavenly chorus somewhere in the distance!? Monty

This just shows you how important it is to return class rings and such, because we know how that person must feel and it helps keep our hobby alive and well.

well what comes to mind is set them up for another"borrowing" then when they come to snatch your stuff..well you fill in the blanks....maybe even get your other camera back if you play" hard candy" with them.....

I'm really sorry this happened to you. Maybe we can all donate some good kharma your way! Don't forget to call the credit card company if that's how you paid!

I know the feeling,

lost my $180.00 water hunting scoop to some punks over the summer while I stepped into the bath house for a moment to take care of biz,

didn't want to take IT and the detector in with me while dealing with a wetsuit & having to do my biz, and thought it would be OK for a few minutes

nope,

came out and it was gone...

They'll all get what they deserve- sooner or later,

Hey I would do what dekalb33 suggested, set them up. There is no way they resist another camera. Hide a video camera in a bush or something. And then snap youve got your snap happy thief.

Sorry to hear about the camera Johnny. Good luck in recovering your loss. Lonewolf is right: What comes around, goes around, they get theirs sooner or later! Keep your chin up, and get back out there and find a diamond ring worth a few cameras!!

Not a bad idea, but it would be tough to prove it was the same thief. Plus, by the time one submits the video to police, identifies the suspect, and gets a warrant to search his/her residence for stolen property, that bait camera is likely long gone.

This would really only work if there is a team of trained folks ready to spring out of the woodwork on the suspect. I would hate to see someone lose another camera.
