Thanks KC for the heads up. Cameras are the ‘preferred item’ among snatch thieves nowadays. So the important thing is to be vigilant at all times knowing that we may be the next victim (again).

Hello friends!,

I share your feelings. There is a website where you can ‘register’ your valuable items such as cameras, lens, cellphones etc. (for FREE). If they get stolen or lost, and someone comes across it (by checking the website), they can (if they are HONEST!), send a message to the legit owner. This is also good for second hand dealers and pawn shops. Try this http://www.stolenlist.info – it is a free service! If you like it, recommend to your friends! Hope you get your camera back. I wish the same for me too! Regards! KC

Thanks for the tips. I will be careful in the future. I don’t know if I will continue taking pictures (it is not a cheap hobby) but let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. Pls don’t give up. Continue to shoot even with a P&S. Keep shooting.

Nowadays, camera bags are as precious as women’s handbag. Those scumbags targets almost anything on your shoulder. We need to be more alert of our surrounding.

My advice : 1) Sling your bag or get a backpack (DIY would save some costs)
2) Always be alert and cautious
3) Walk in opposite way of traffic flow
4) Whenever possible, walk as far away as possible from motorcycles lane

sorry to hear that man.. Please be extra careful these day.. Perhaps at this moment just get a normal camera for snapshot first.. of course it wont be as aperture-graceful as SLR but it could make you smile back to record some stuff in life.. at least you are not hurt lah..
