Yes, of course I was joking.  The thing is, some kid (??) doesn't know
what he has and probably flogged it at the nearest pub for $100. (See
header "Thugs are stupid")There is no way I could accept something
stolen. Especially knowing (hoping) that if it ever needs repairs, the
numbers will show up.
BTW. The numbers are:  M6 Black body... #1915436   Black Summicron 35..
#3590645 just in case anyone is offered or sees them.
