My condolences. I hope you get her back.

I've sent a note around to folks I know up this way.

Holly,

So sorry to hear of this terrible matter! Consider having searches in eBay on each or some of the items and you can get notification when one pops up for sale. That and Craig's list. I'd imagine, the camera, which has the largest mass, would be put up for sale first.

Craigslist and Kijiji are major sources of stolen stuff. Keep your eyes peeled.

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Bump. And eyes a'peeled.

Thats terrible, Its good that you have the serials. I hope it turns up. Check craigslist and ebay often. On ebay you can set saved searches for these items, and if someone lists it, you will be notified, or shown all new posts.
