I just realised my camera has been stolen at Carronade.
It must have been between 14:30 and 15:30 in the sportshall where I was at the demotable for 6s2hit. I have the camera's serial number and EXIF and will go to the police tomorrow. If anybody has seen anything please PM me. All info will be handled conficentially.
Maybe the person who took my camera will be so kind to return it on or the other way? No questions asked.
If not I am afraid I will have the polic handle the investigation including review of the CCTV tapes.
Wow, sorry to hear that, not very often this kind of thing happens at a show. It hasn't been accidentally packed into a box of stuff from the demo game has it? We've often put things in boxes and then found them when we go to unpack again at the next show.
Oh.....Roland !!
Hope it's returned Matey.....Or if it has been nicked, rather than being misplaced, they catch the barstewards. >:( >:( >:(
Cheers - Phil
Have contacted everybody and so far nothing. In conclusion I can only think it was taken from that very demo table :(
Edit: Well...older than 4 years camera without any lead or whatsoever. Not a very successful thief I daresay. IF the police does their job it should be fairly easy to trace but at that value of the good(s) I do not hold my hopes high.
Should anyone ever upload a picture taken with that camera, presto. But that is also a long shot.
@Leon: Gamers are usually very honest. I left my laptop unattended at the LGS and nothing happened ever.
@Techno: If the culprit is caught he should pray the police is faster than me >:(
Hmmm...there are those it does not do to allow to roll dice unsupervised. But a stolen camera is something different. Good luck.
Hope it is returned.
Sorry mate. :(
While I totally support the term "when in Rome..." I also feel that certain other cultures do have a much better way in dealing with thieves.
On a positive sidenote is my initial post and the futility to attempt to run but also that the Carronade organisers are very helpful on this. They are currently checking their lost and found of Carronade and I will know more hopefully tonight.
Sorry to hear that >:(.
That's a bummer man, hopefully it turns up and I'm sure the guys at the club are on the case.
I hope you'll get it back.
Can you pass the details of the type of camera etc on to me. There was one handed in at the front desk which wasn't claimed by the end of the day, someone on the committee took it away with them so I can check with them if it's your camera or not. (If you haven't already been in touch?)
edit.. Scrap that I finally spotted that you have been in touch, not been the best of days today.

No worries, the gent will be informed by Kenneth but I also PMed you with the camera details.
@all: cheers for the heads up guys. It really means something to me.

Hmmmm, like electing them to the position of head of state?
How sickening. I have been doing shows for 25years plus. Luckily not lost anything apart from a few dice. But it will certainly make me more conscious of things like cameras
A real downer on an otherwise enjoyable experience. But as has been said before, atypical of wargamers generally.
Roland, Thats a real shame.
Shows are relatively free of this sort of thing.
When I helped at shows the very odd occasion we saw anyone they were young kids nicking a couple of figures.
I did have a PC game dissapear off of a "Bring and Buy", but I suspect that was a so called trader who often "helped" on bring and buys at variious shows. He was very interested when I booked it in. He had a "certain reputation" around the shows for dubious practices - Putting the good stuff he wanted out of site, then making an offer as it had not sold etc.
I hope you get it back and as Phil says - they ought to cut his hands off .
Well this is how things can turn!
I was dead sure the camera was stolen but apparently it turned up again. I am already sure it is mine and will know next week how exactly I will get it back without too much hassle.
Short version:
Camera was found and is now witht he gents from Warbases.co.uk , they will hand it to Dave, Dave to Leon and from there we shall see. If the postal service gets involved it will of course be with a small Pendraken supply package :D
Thanks to all for your kind words and all the help to turn this come out the way it did.
Glad to hear it. The world isn't always out to get us. :)
It surely looked like theft but who would assume a camera disappears from a bag and then gets found.
I am not looking the gift horse in the mouth. Worst case it will come to me at Claymore witha few shinies and colours, brushes etc.
:-bd
Well what a result on the lovelist day of the year so far :)!
Delighted for you, Roland !! :)
Cheers - Phil
Phew!
Great to know their are still honest people in the world.
Great. All's well that ends well.
Excellent, good to hear it's been found.

We'll be seeing Martin at Phalanx next, so he might pass it to us there.

Good to hear
Will yu be checking the SD card in private...just in case?
Would it be too much to ask a moderator to change the title of this thread? It gives an undeserved and negative impression of what is a good show.
Loss at Carronade would appear to be more accurate.
I agree with Derek, Google will pick that title up when someone searches for carronade and depending on the page 'weight' it could be near the top... how about, "Carronade: Scottish folk trustworthy afterall" ;)
Derek is right.

I've done that now, although it doesn't change each of the replies. I might have to change those individually.
Or maybe just delete the whole 'subject/thread', which would be easier?
I've modified all of the posts now, so they all show the 'Lost Camera...' title instead. I can delete the thread in a few weeks, once we've got the camera back to sebigboss.

Worst case via 6s2hit in Claymore with a few Pendraken goodies.
Was about to ask for the threadname being altered. Whata wonderful turn of events :)
