And the camera is returned to you UNLESS you were insured, in which case it goes to the insurance company. But only if you can PROVE it originally was yours. If a theft occurs, the police tend to be persuaded by a showing of a complete serial number. An original receipt of purchase or/and a numbered box helps. In Common Law countries, a thief cannot pass title. I do not know about Civil-Law nations. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
