Howard, it's a Monty Pythonesque saga. We feel for you. I hope that soon 
you'll be reporting the arrival of your brand new
replacement camera, with no Canadian taxes to pay.
Cheers
Hoppy

Hi Luggers,
Well, my well traveled M8 has arrived in Solms and the package will  
be opened up tomorrow. Leica has agreed to replace the camera but  
with a twist. According to new German Government regulations the  
replacement camera should be sent to the country from which the  
broken camera came - in this case Canada. I don't live in Canada but  
in Hong Kong so following the regulation won't put a new camera in my  
hands anytime soon as I am returning home to HK on Tuesday - not to  
mention the question of Canadian taxes and duties. I have sent Leica  
copies of my HK ID and driver's licence and I hope that common sense  
will prevail. As they say, "it ain't over until the fat lady sings"
Cheers,
Howard (in wet and cold Vancouver - packing for hot and sunny HK)
