    Yes, he bought the camera at the Rubioux swap meet. What a gentleman. I started crying when I saw it at the Police Station.

    I've posted a link on another site (FotoFanatic) with a request that people there watch for any of the gear.

    Are these swap meets organised, in that sellers have to register before being allowed onto the site? Otherwise they will be an eldorado for stolen items.

    Sorry to hear this!
    I'd see If the storage units have insurance on such things. They should at least have video surveillance..
    The units I've seen around here have tall fences around the properties and would be near impossible to get in unless you had a unit..
    More then likely the thief knew you and what you had stored..!

    The police think that these people had a unit in there. The POS that sold the one camera was hispanic.

    I once had my storage unit broken into. It was literally cut into from an adjacent unit. Fortunately, the manager was on his toes, called the cops, and the guys were busted. I recovered all my belongings. I hope you have as good of luck. And I hope the judge swiftly and justly punishes the thieves.

    Being a piece of shit doesn't require any particular ethnicity for confirmation. Their actions work just fine for this purpose.

    So the rest of the items could still be in another unit in the same storage facility?

    Not being racist, just stated a fact to help anyone else out there looking. As much as I want vengence really I just want my stuff back. It was my life.

    Based on my LF background, large amounts of professional photo equipment are flown to Taiwan where it is quickly disposed of.
