First Stolen Scarlet?

[Daniel Reed]

My home was broken into yesterday while on a shoot (ironically while I was on a red shoot using a different Scarlet)

I suppose keep an eye out for #2350 if you happen to stumble upon an used Scarlet for sale.

Did I perhaps become the first Scarlet theft victim?

Daniel,

Please make sure you email your Bomb Squad Rep so we can update our system to reflect that it is stolen.

Sorry to hear, Daniel! Do make sure to check on ebay and craigslist. Dumb people do dumb things, so make sure you check out every scarlet which turns up on ebay.

And BTW sad but true, you're not the first...

Daniel, I noticed it was stolen in the SF Bay Area, I'll send out a few e-mails to some locals who rent Scarlets to keep an eye out for a "too-good-to-be-true" rentals or purchases. Sorry to hear about the loss...

[Daniel Reed]

I spoke w/ my RED Rep earlier today and advised him of the issue. Theft is covered under my insurance, after a hefty deductible.
Barring any unforeseen problems, I should hopefully (knock on wood) be able to order another RED camera in a month.
Worse case scenario, I may have to rent RED cameras for a while...

I found what looks like evidence of the Scarlet being dropped/tossed (red shaped dent on wood flooring near storage cabinet)
Even in the unlikely scenario that I recover it, It's most likely is going to need servicing.

Daniel,

Thank You, I appreciate your efforts

Seriously,

It seems as if a good deal of these are getting swiped, not cool at all.
I'm wondering how these chumps keep nabbing REDS?????

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. We are proud of who we are and the investments we have made in the future.
Unfortunately, Real names on the user site let the bad guys know who they can target.

I remember that when M0006 disappeared from our collective experience - there was much speculation that how we posted our activities could work against us.
We were all living that dream through Mark, and however short the moment was - the gasp of pain throughout our community was felt around the world.

Publicity can be a double-edged sword.

Be careful. Be vigilant.
