Yeah, I left my black lowepro bag stuffed full of gear in a darkened
room corner of a motel in Greeneville, SC once, not realizing it until I
arrived home three hours later that it didn't make the trip with me.
Fortunately, I was a regular there and they recognized the bag as mine,
so they held on to it until I could get back down there a couple days
later. I tell you, though, it was a rough realization when it wasn't in
the Jeep.
I once left my 31/1.8 Ltd at a site in a park where I was doing a dawn
shoot for a (paying!) client. I realized what I'd done about an hour
later. Since it was a dawn shoot in the middle of a large park and it
was still before 8:00 a.m. when I returned, the lens was still there
sitting on a rock in the middle of a stream.
Once in Winston-Salem before GFM my car was broken into with ALL my
gear in the back -- including 80-200/2.8, 300/2.8, medium format kit,
etc... The thief took only a case of music CDs from the front seat (I
think the alarm may have induced him to grab something small as fast
as possible without investigating the vehicle's contents further).
of course, there was the time at another motel in Greeneville, SC, when
my Blazer was broken into and a few thousand dollars worth of gear was
taken. Subsequent conversations with my insurance company were somewhat
surreal, because I was in town for Uncle Olan, and they could get their
collective head around two separate sets of gear, Uncle Olan's in the
studio and mine in the truck.
