A request for help, and vigilance.

Right.
I don't normally do this, but, I need everyones help.

-----------------------------------

At some point in the last 8 hours, my car has been broken into on my driveway, and several items have been stolen.

These include every one of my working cameras, as well as lenses and bag. Now is not the time to debate whether or not leaving the bag in the car was the right thing.

So, if anyone in and around Doncaster or South Yorkshire gets offered any of the following, can you contact South Yorkshire Police, and give the reference 169/10082018

Lowepro Runner BP450AW II Backpack
Nikon D800 with battery pack and 2x64gb memory cards
Nikon D300 with battery pack and memory card
Nikon D7000 with memory card
Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 lens
Nikon 70-210 f/4 lens
Nikon 50 f/1.8 lens
Nikon 100-300 f4 lens
Sigma 17-35 f2.8-4 lens

Numerous batteries associated with the cameras and chargers.

Also in the bag was a Sandisk USB Card reader.
--

Also taken was a Nextbase Dashcam, a Uniden UBC-125 XLT scanner, and various cables and other items from within the car.

---

Also taken at the same time was a black, Underarmour bag, containing several items of clothing, which was also in the boot of my car.

---

I'm not fussed about the radio, dashcam, or Underarmour bag, all I want is my camera equipment back. Its my livelyhood thats gone, and I am unable to undertake any duties as Doncaster RLFC photographer as a result.

Thanks.

Crikey ... sorry to hear that Donny.
I suppose this is on the other social media sites?

Good luck mate ... the thieving skanks don't even know what they are doing half the time and flog items for peanuts in some skanky boozer.

Not insured?

Insured, just not 100% sure whether or not they'll pay out.

I'm tempted to go and get drunk, I've just lost all the get up and go I had. :(

Donny, very sorry to hear this. Make sure you ring SYP and ask them to send a scences of crime unit out to your car. It was a dry night so there is no excuse. Check with Cash Converters on Wood Street and the shop on Printing Office street (opposite the Methodist Church) that sell phones etc. Trawl Gumtree and any other online sites where they are likely to be disposed of. Use Facebook to put out a Doncaster wide message. Good luck pal and I hope you get something back at least.

Really sorry to hear about this Donny. It must be heart-wrenching.

Here's hoping for some good news from the police and from others keeping an eye out for you.

I know what ought to be done to the people who do things like this. :DEPRESSED:
