Serial #'s are on the way !!! less

Damn, very sorry to hear that. Hope it all works out for you as painlessly as possible. Maybe post some photos as well if you have any?

[Aaron B. Brown]

Very sorry to hear Torben. I would be sure to keep an eye out on ebay and craigslist. I will do so as well but for craigslist I do not speak Danish. Also consider other ways they could possibly move the gear. These are very specific items minus some things.

Post all the Serial Numbers on here so we all can reference to the list/post whenever the same type of gear is posted for sale here, ebay, craigslist, facebook, etc..The faster you post the info the quicker someone can find it,

You should also have a look on Tor market

[Thomas K. Jensen]

Pis Torben...

Det gør mig så sur, når folk ikke kender forskel på dit og mit. Håber forsikringen dækker.

Wow ! Talk about all your eggs in one basket. I am guessing that you've been to the police ? This should qualify as grand theft and should get a swift response I hope. That's a really shitty Christmas present. I am sorry. Hope it gets sorted, and it might, it's probably going to be hard to fence in Denmark.

Please post the Serial Numbers as indicated 2 weeks ago, the faster we all know them, the faster one or more items may turn up!

[Randy Nolen]

Oh No! So sorry to hear you lost so much of your Gear. That's always been a fear of mine, having my truck broken into and all my gear taken. I try not to leave my gear unattended even on the set, someone could just walk by pick-up one case and disappear! Hope your insurance covers this loss! Good luck.

[Jeffery Yang]

Call the police first!

Do you have CAR DVR?

[Osvaldo Silvera SOC]

Any updates to this?

I never did see the serial numbers posted as indicated. I've come across WCU units and Pro vests, and various other gear but without numbers, why look?

[Koji Ishida]

I'm sorry to hear about what happened. I also had my brand new steadicam equipment stolen earlier this year and went through some pretty rough times.

[Torben Meldgaard]

Hi / very sorry for never replying back in 2013/14.... I was very frustrated at the moment - and was just about to stop my "career" as a steadicamoperator ;-)

Luckily I didn't - and regarding equipment I got up and running 100 % about 6 month later :-)

Anyway - once again - sorry for the very late reply - and by the way - next to my GPI Pro rig, I'm now the very happy owner of the ARRI Trinity too :-)

All the best and have a nice day.

Torben
