I know it shouldn't need to be said, but this is a friendly reminder to everyone:

DON'T LEAVE YOUR CAMERA EQUIPMENT IN YOUR VEHICLE.

I lost three lenses last night.

It could happen to you.

Let's not let it happen to you :D

Oh No! So sorry to hear that - will your automobile insurance cover the loss?

That totally sucks! Sorry to hear it. I have, on occasion, been so tired and foggy after a shoot that, after slogging all the dang gear back into the house (c-stands are great, but heavy muthas), I have left the door on my car open all night. Found muddy cat paw-prints on the seats one morning. Guess he got in outta the rain.

Anyway, a good reminder to me: haul all that stuff back in the house no matter how late it is or how tired I am. I do, but I am always tempted to wait until morning....

Dunno if your insurance will cover it, and sometimes the credit card has some insurance associated with it, too.

On the other hand, congrats in advance for the new glass! :-)

But seriously, that does royally suck, and really ticks me off! >:-(

Did they damage your car to break in? That's just adding insult and extra cost to injury. I lost all love for my old car after it was broken into, weird, eh. :-(

Sorry to hear that. Just curious--were they in plain view, or in a bag? Was the bag obvious as a camera bag?

I'm just asking because if I do leave stuff in the car, I try to hide it from view, or cover it. I suspect that's not much help, but hopefully some!
