Some answers to great PDMLers:
Mark Roberts wrote: Congratulations Albano! Great story (and a happy ending, no less) //////// Thanks, Mark. Tom C wrote: Glad you got your LX back! Good you stood your ground. Too bad there's jerks out there like that. Makes you wonder if some of the police aren't splitting the take with the pawn shop owners. //////// You can bet your whole year's salary this is the way they go. Juan wrote: It only makes you wonder that if you're not from Buenos Aires. If you are from there, you *know* the cops split the take with the thieves. :-( Good for Albano, in any case. //////// Argentino who knows the way they work here. Gracias por la onda, Juan. Gianfranco wrote: Hi Albano, Good news indeed! Remember what you wrote then? "I went to the police, and now, if I see the camera in a store, I can claim for it. Probabilities are low, but exist." You did evoke that! I'm really happy for you. Now you'd probably better be careful to avoid to pass around Libertad for a while... Ciao, ///////// Thanks Gianfranco, and yes, I'll avoid this place for a long long time (I'm not going to buy nothing here, as I never did. Everybody knows here they are trash). Cory wrote: WOOOOO HOOOO!!!!!! I'd have bet you a dollar that this wouldn't have happened. BUT It's YOUR tenacity that got your camera back. GOOD JOB man!!! Many others would have let it go. I'm glad for you :) Cory Waters wondering how long it would take to catalog all the serial numbers of everything I'd not like to lose..... ///////// Thanks, Cory. And take note of every serial number you have. I've learned the lesson. DO IT NOW. Cotty wrote: Well done Albano - you did it! I admire you for sticking to your principles in a tricky situation. Now for f.....'s sake stay away from bad guys with guns! ///////// Thanks a lot, Cotty. And living here in Buenos Aires, it's very hard to stay away from them. :-( Bob wrote: And ... Insure the stuff!!! I lost out on a blad w/lenses plus 2 spotmaitcs and a swag of gear 30 years ago. That was a dear lesson and my stuff has been fully insured since. //////// Yes, I'll if I can. It's not easy to insure this kind of stuff here. My friend was insured, but it was because his father has a huge insurance covering houses, cars, country states, etc. I'll try to insure my stuff if I can. Thanks. anand wrote: wow albano, i too am happy you got your camera back. i really wish you could have your 100 mm lens too. ///////// Thanks, Believe I'm more than happy recovering the more important item. David S. wrote: Great to read your good news & glad our cops aren't as crooked as yours seem to be. ///////// Thanks. We have a football cheer song that claims "Policia Federal, la verguenza nacional" (federal police, national shame) Tom R. wrote: Good for you. - --graywolf - ------------------------------------------------- The optimist's cup is half full, The pessimist's is half empty, The wise man enjoys his drink. ///////// Thanks, Tom. Great phrase too! Carlos Royo wrote: Well done, Albano, and congratulations. Besides of being lucky, you need guts to do what you did. Cheers, ///////// Gracias Carlos. John Coyle wrote: Very glad for you Albano - it must have been heart-stopping moment when you realised it was your LX! I have never been lucky enough to get any of mine back! Who buys this bent stuff anyway - certainly not PDML'ers... ///////// It was a feeling I'll remember all my life. And yes, I never do and never will buy stuuf from this guys. Kevin wrote: I lost my MZ-30 and some lenses and about 6 months back. I have since replaced it with a MZ-S put I do but I would still like it back. It is heartening to here your story. //////// Thanks Kevin. I hope you recover them sometime just as I did. All the best. Thanks to all, note your serial nos., insure your stuff, take care and ENJOY!!!! Albano - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
