ouch. have you reported it to the police?

[agent006]

Keep an eye on ebay. These rarely come up as UK sales, they're nearly always Hong Kong dealers, so will stand out clearly.

Sorry to hear about it, Dave. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for you.

Does look dodgy - particularly:

ebay seller said:

No box is included but caps for the front and back of the lens are included

Be nice if yours had a particular scratch you could prove.........

And the same guy sold 70-200 f2.8 IS last month, and he said 'I brought this to replace my 24-105mm but i have changed my mind and decided to stick with this one for the time being..'. Well dodgy.

Well that's certainly shaken my theory of "I don't need to worry much about my DSLR kit as no one with steal it because they don't know what it is or what it's worth."

You'd think the photo would be a lot better considering he supposedly has a DSLR, wouldn't you?

lol naive... Those red rings or white lenses are big get your cash here labels. Theives tend to know whats worth what.

thanks all, for your help and concerns.

i have contacted the ebay seller with the usual probing (but gentle) questions.

the lens was in the grey draw string pouch and had a hoya 77mm 1A filter upon.

the hood had a small sticker www.manxmotorsportphotography.com which will obviously have disappeared by now.

thanks again, and despite the forecast, i hope you enjoy the weekend.

No rules broken, matey.

Hopefully you get it back!! Does insurance cover it for theft as well as damage?

hello tony,
insurance covered, yes .... but a £100 excess and the loss of no claims bonus hurts.
the most painful aspect is that normally theft/crime is few and far between over here.
