The major microphone manufacturers and dealers do. In a parallel universe, I'm heavily involved with professional sound recording equipment. It is SOP, when buying a professional, studio-quality microphone to request the serial no. immediately. Knowledgeable buyers avoid any seller who can't or won't provide one. With the S/N in hand, one then contacts the manufacturer, partly to inquire about the mike's service record, but also to see if it has ever been reported stolen. Depending on how suspicious you're feeling, you might also contact the major dealers in and service centers for microphones. Any number of people have recovered their stolen microphones when they were sent in for service, sometimes years later. Anyway, it seems to me that Ted should report his stolen camera to Leica and to the major Leica dealers. It's worth a shot. /*------------------------------------------------------------- ** ** Howard Sanner ** Kirsten Flagstad Discographer ** Ampex Mailing List Founder ** flagstad@sysnet.net ** */ /*------------------------------------------------------------- ** ** Howard Sanner ** Kirsten Flagstad Discographer ** Ampex Mailing List Founder ** flagstad@sysnet.net ** */
