Larry It is a sadder thing than that. Probably by now the camera is sitting in a trashdump. The thief will rapidly learn that Leica has NO value in the "hot" market and nobody will buy the gear from them -- these guys are NOT camera pros but stealers and retailers and they only want saleable gear and Leica isn't a word heard often on the street. They are MUCH more interested in your MP3 gear and your IPOD's and your Canon and Nikon digital gear than in Leica. That they stole by accident and will throw away after their first discussion with a fence. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
