BEWARE STOLEN BMPCC

PostMon Feb 10, 2014 1:00 pm

Beware of used / secondhand / blackmarket BMPCC ....

My BMPCC was stolen from my checked luggage aboard an Emirates flight from Rome - Dubai - Perth last Friday. Thank goodness the low life SOB left my lenses, viewfinder etc and only took the $1000 camera.

Unfortunately Emirates won't even talk to me and nor take any liability for the theft, and I don't have any insurance coverage for the camera.

So, now I have to save up again.

Yes I am kicking myself that I put a valuable item in checked luggage (in all the travelling I have done NEVER happened before), but can't you trust an airline to take care of your stuff?

I know this doesn't help you in this case, but for those that are reading this thread, tend to fly US domestic and check their gear in luggage. Please, do the following.

It involves getting a starter pistol and special TSA clearance whilst moving gear. Please be safe with your gear.
