Camera help robbery
My Camera has been stolen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jun 04 06 01:01 am Link Many insurance companies will accept an original owners manual as proof of ownership. Jun 04 06 01:07 am Link yeah..but I have nothing ;-( except photos! Jun 04 06 01:18 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: What kind of camera? Jun 04 06 01:43 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: That sucks. Sounds like you need a new insurance company. Jun 04 06 08:00 am Link If you bought your camera from anywhere "big" that uses computerized receipts (B&H, Adorama, etc.) you should be able to have them print you a new one. Asking for another's receipt is attempted fraud and could land you in trouble. Jun 04 06 08:10 am Link photogeek wrote: And I would think that anyone who supplies one would be an accessory. Jun 04 06 08:31 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: No receipt, no book, no warranty card, nothing? Interesting... Jun 04 06 08:31 am Link Not saying this about the OP, but if I got something like this in email, I'd say "phishing" and delete it. The OP has photos? EXIF data usually embeds the camera body serial number.

I could also buy an instruction manual on eBay, or even from Nikon, Canon et al ... doesn't prove ownership.

I cannot say about other brands of cameras features, but my Canon also embeds my name in the EXIF data along with the body serial number. I don't know how easy it would be to change that info on a rented camera. I would think it requires access to the camera setup software.

Jun 04 06 10:24 am Link I had all of my equipment AND my computer stolen last fall....my insurance company didn't require anything except a police report (which was done the second we walked into our home and found out it was burglarized) and some documentation on replacement values (which I got from the internet). What you are asking others to do for you is insurance fraud and I seriously doubt that anyone will get involved with this. Besides, why would someone send you their receipt and then risk the chance of needing it later? Sorry you lost your stuff, but getting it back legally is the way to go.... Jun 04 06 10:35 am Link your kidding right??? Jun 04 06 06:03 pm Link photogeek wrote: Agreed...Don't ask for someone elses receipt. Call the company that you bought it from and ask for a copy of the original. Jun 04 06 06:33 pm Link Honesty is the best policy Jun 04 06 06:36 pm Link If you dont want to help, go do something else. Putting in the word fraud in here, that was really nice!! I am insured I paid a LOT and entilted to replace the camera thats not making anything up the loss is real It was actaully a duty free buy at some airport I dont even recall what curency or country I bought it in or with which card!! As I am travelling without access to old credit card statements or anything and have no box, manual or anything else over here with me. either offer help direct or pass on by folks! i am not normally dishonest butIf I have no proof, that means i get nothing. They just get my CASH. So, hardly the best policy! ps it would have to be a cash purchase so as not to HAVE anothers name on it thanks anyway guys! Jun 05 06 02:09 am Link You don't remember which card you put your camera on or the store that you bought it at??? would you not think that someone posting that would be suspicious??? i mean, even i have tons of camera equiptment and art supplies and a ton of electronics and software and i have the worst memory in the world but i can still tell anyone where i got every single item from. I say that you seriously need to try really hard and remember where it is you got it from and then contact the place. Since you know you put it on a card and about the time that you purchased it then it may be on record still, many places keep records for several years before it is removed from the system to free up memory. They can probably look it up since it's on a credit card, have them try each one you have until they find it. Have them print you a replacement receipt and have them mail it to you. No one in here is going to give you their receipt because it's for THEIR camera that is on THEIR warranty and insurance policies which makes them the responsible party. Which are all unique to them and not you. Asking someone for their receipt is commiting FRAUD and is against the law and both partys will be put away if found out. :\ Especially since almost every electronic device that has insurance on it and not simply a warranty is REGISTERED!!! You can not think that someone will give you 1 of their documents to simply "help out" when they can easily be arrested for doing so.

That doesnt really matter now, i was just hoping for anything, any type that I can back up with . . . . just being positive. PS If it WAS ''suspicious'' durrr I wouldnt be here! Is procedure, they like to file something. Jun 05 06 03:13 am Link Find the Person who sold it to you ! Maybe he can hand write a receipt on a napkin or something ......LOL ...... I feel your Pain... I was in Germany shooting a Soccer game and got my 500mm F4 stolen ..... It Hurts .....and slows down Progress ..... Manny D. Jun 05 06 03:18 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: yeah but when most companies file you need to make sure all documents checkout and are good to go only for you, otherwise you can still be arrested and who ever helped you. Jun 05 06 03:19 am Link Funny I DO remember aspects about the guy himself! He was very persuasive. I think his name was ... Manny Jun 05 06 03:20 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: hmmm... Manny.... Manny... *looks up* there he is!!! lol go get him!

If in the future you buy from them again you have something new and they will have to start from square 1. Jun 05 06 03:37 am Link POUNDS not dollars - about $1,000 dollars... but ok I will move this issue to the EQUIPMENT used camera, for sale cheap, section maybe one day find an affordable Cannon 10 D?!? and maybe offer if anyone wants 'full nudity, girl on girl on girl, with electrical piano wire, for pay' Section sigh!

Insurance fraud is illegal and if they can prove you did (say by finding out you started this thread asking for another's receipt and then if someone gave you said receipt and you used it to attempt to gain a new camera or monetary reimbursement for the "stolen" goods you can be guilty of a misdomeanor, or if the amount is high enough a felony . . . at which point you could even end up in a PMITA prison. Jun 05 06 03:21 pm Link personally Im not planning to make anything up if I were a prisoner though, I am certain, no one would call me 'PAL' lol Jun 05 06 11:05 pm Link Mark Anderson wrote: No Jun 19 06 01:14 am Link Does anyone else have a picture of you with the camera?
