Had two 35mm SLR's (film of course), multiple lens, Macro setup, tripods, etc. First setup was stolen (by my brother, drugs ), partial recovery. Bought a new setup, it ended up being stolen as well , both thefts occurred at my home on days I wasn't carrying them and I carried them nearly everywhere. So I did learn a little bit about photography. Of course, I've forgotten some too, it's been so long.

Since then I've had a cheapy HP camera, came with an HP printer and it disappeared from home. (Why me! ) And, my cellphones, of which 2 have been stolen, both times when tethered to my computer, 1st not recovered, 2nd recovered (still using it, it is also my modem, the reason for tethering.)

Sometimes I feel, if I ever catch one of these people, like taking them by the back of the head and pushing their face through a wall.
