Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted January 5, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hi Tim, How about a new Forum, or list or the like for stolen equipment, Lost or Found equipment. Put it in a seperate list so that you can find it quickly without going throuh the entire General Disscusion. So people can post there lost or stolen equipment with serial numbers and location as well as circumstances... I'm still looking for my Arm and Vest: - PRO Vest, Serial# 107 - 3a Gold Spring Arm, Serial# 588 Stolen at the Valley Collage, end of 2001... Thank you, Tim.

Tim Tyler Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I think a dedicated searchable database might be better for that application. What do other forum users think of your idea? Isn't there already and online database for stolen gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JimBartell Posted January 7, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Isn't there already and online database for stolen gear? The Production Equipment Rental Association (PERA) has one at: http://www.productionequipment.com/ Look under "Tools". Notice Erwin's stolen gear is already listed.

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted January 8, 2004 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 The Production Equipment Rental Association (PERA) has one at: http://www.productionequipment.com/ Look under "Tools". Notice Erwin's stolen gear is already listed. Jim "still a freakin' newbie" Bartell I submitted it to PERA. It used to be very easy to specifically look for Steadicam and all kinds of equipment related to Steadicam would pop up, since they upgraded the website, you have to look specifically for "PRO" sometimes for "George Paddock" or "Steadicam" etc... to try to avoid the last 30 Arri 435 that got stolen last week... I just thought that here everybody is on on a fairly regular bases and can easier and quicker see and act on stolen or lost Steadicam equipment. Greg Bubb, if you contact him, will put up stolen XCS equipment but only his equipment. Just a thought, don't just throw everybody stines at once...

I'm just wondering what it would say if you hit 4000 posts as Phil had managed... "all mighty member"???? Maybe "Grand High Poobah", or "Obsessive-Compulsive Dominator"? And Tim, thank you for changing "Newbie" to "New Member". I'm sure guys like Larry McConkey and Peter Abraham must be a little chagrined to see "Newbie" used to describe them. Jim "Am I there yet?"
