Richard:  I was totally swamped at work, and didn't get to post either my 
sympathy for the loss or my elation that you got your equipment back.  But 
rest assured, I was sending all sorts of good thoughts your way.

Years and years ago, in college, I was taking some girl's yearbook picture 
in the Boston Public Gardens. I was using my 90 Tele-Elmarit, and left my 
backpack containing my DR 50 Summicron on the ground behind me.  A homeless 
guy snatched it without either of us noticing it.  I remember the horrible 
feeling.  I also remember the phone call I got, a week later, from a city 
worker who had seen the guy with my backpack.  He figured it was stolen, 
took it away, and tracked me down based on identification in the 
backpack.  So I felt for ya, bro', on both ends of the situation.

And Toto, I don't think we're in "Little Red Riding Hood" any more:
