Damn Phil - being robbed is such a horrible feeling. I feel that pain and anger as if it were yesterday; even though it was 1988 when I had $10K of gear stolen out of my Van in Santa Fe. Had a collection of valuable fishing gear stolen out of my garage back in the late '70s. I actually gave up on fishing. couldn't give up on photography - though. It's just horrible.
