Jonathon,
My sympathies, mate.
I had a similar experience last year. I had just exited Sydney Airport at the domestic terminal and was helping an old lady with her luggage. I flung my Canon Crumpler bag (with my camera and a bunch of lenses) over my shoulder, to make it easier to help her with both arms free, only to realise that my brand new Canon EF 75-300 IS lens had leapt for freedom. My heart froze for a second as I felt the change in weight on my shoulder. I had inadvertantly forgot to do the strap up on the bag.
Thank goodness the lens is built like a brick you-know-what-house, and the only damage that it incurred were minor scuff marks.
See what happens when you help little old ladies at the airport?
All the best with the repairs.
Regards,
Humayun
