From Mobile Phone Snatching To Camera Theft!

Here's another depressing news I received via email. Its from the PiPho forum... I just want it to share with you.

Hello there!

Its been a while since I've been commanded by a task.

I would like to warn people to be careful on where you go, there are
already two different incidents of camera theft and camera holdup.

1. Happened near baywalk. The burglars busted the cars quarter window
and took the whole camera bag with lenses.

2. Somewhere in Laguna. This is probably a by chance holdup, it
happened last week. The holdupper pointed a gun to the victims and the
perpetrators took their important belongings including their photography
gears.

3. We all know that Lee "Bubuekak" has passed away because of cellphone
holdup.

The incidents are not directly associated in this forum but we are
alarmed, these are events that we dont wish to happen to anyone especially
to our beloved co-PiphoLs.


What we would like to suggest are:

1. Go in groups for your photo ops.
2. Don't leave your gears inside your car.
3. Don't deal with strangers. The internet is a public place.
4. List all the serial numbers of your gears. Just in case you need it.
5. Post here your lost gears with serial numbers.

Ikaw naman, puwede ka naman mag-stay na diyan sa Australia, you chose to go back pa.
Hard choices to make.
Now is a good time to go as Philippine asset prices have reflated. Mahirap umalis kung bagsak ang presyo ng lupa, etc--mahirap mag-liquidate.
