I do not take Alan's non photographic opinions seriously although some of the things he rants about are funny to think that anyone would take seriously.
Just like the prerogative writs and other legal anachronisms that so many US legal systems retain from ~ 250 years ago, while the rest of the world has moved on.
By the way, they are horsehair wigs, and apparently itch like crazy. You won't find them in Canada, and in most UK courts.
But more generally, be careful about getting your legal advice from Photrio. With such radical revolutionaries like Alan proposing massive changes to a legal system that your country has used for ~ 250 years and which evolved for many centuries before that, you could become confused.
A tracing remedy for personalty that defeats legal title to that personalty? What's next, the elimination of private property all together?
$180,000 of Leica equipment stolen.
... and here we have a four page thread about what? ... 4 cameras and 5 lenses stolen.
Coincidentally I just got called for jury duty in New Jersey. I thought at 77 you're too old. I might fall asleep. Like the judge.
Just did that. Thanks.
A thread that starts with "Stolen Leicas in San Fran" and morphs into "Tips on how to get out of jury duty in Jersey" should become a case study on how conversations evolve (or is it devolve?) on forums such as this one.
There's been a lot of that lately. "Will there ever be another photographic movement?" morphed into "Tips on renegotiating your Sirius radio subscription." and "Is there really a strong interest in film photography?" morphed into "How to cheat the IRS by using cash."
It will come with a receipt from a dealer dated Nov 2022 with my name on it.
It's always been the case to some extent. How many times has something like "I'm looking for a 28mm lens for my XYZ camera and I want to know the differences between these two options..." turned into "You should buy a Hasselblad?"There's been a lot of that lately. "Will there ever be another photographic movement?" morphed into "Tips on renegotiating your Sirius radio subscription." and "Is there really a strong interest in film photography?" morphed into "How to cheat the IRS by using cash."
One would think that of all the virtual conversation spots on this big web of ours a photography forum would be the one in which people would be able to keep their focus on the subject...

Huss, do you mean you bought two lenses and were heading in to pick them up when all this went down? I'm so sorry.
...anyone who buys known stolen stuff is as bad as the thieves...
One would think that people interested in photography could focus!
No problem focusing when there is something worth focusing on.
Well you focus better than most around here. If their brains were not on a lease, their heads would wonder off.
