Also, I would like to alert you from buying the stolen goods and or accepting any COD cashier checks from Fleet Bank in Melville, New York. Mike advertised, in the classified section of "Shutterbug" Magazine, that he has camera gear for sale. He got a call from a guy in New York wanting to buy his Leica and Contarex outfits. He then sent the Camera Gear via UPS, COD, Cashier check only. It all went according to the rules except that this Cashier check, from the Fleet Bank in Melville, NY, were stolen about one year ago and thus, are not worth anymore than a scrap paper. After checking with the bank, he found out that a STOCK of cashier checks were stolen about one year ago. This theft cost him $30,000. So Please beware !!!!! The Stolen items and their serial numbers are: Leica Leica M5 Chrome 3 Lugs box Like New #1355861 Leica SL-2 Chrome New Sealed Box #1420974 Leica 125/2,5 Hecktor Canada Mint- # 1223527 Leica 125/2,5 Hecktor Wetzlar Mint- #1305029 Leica 560/5,6 Telyt w/Pistol Grip Like New #2221310 Contarex outfit like Mint to New condition .
