Really sorry to hear of your misfortune Tony I know that I would be so down if I lost even my small amount of gear!! Hopefully everything turns out well for you.
I think everyone else has said what I think of the types that do this stuff.

Wise man that Tony, hope the insurance company comes to the party.

At least we're still here to keep your nights busy while you drown your sorrows.

geee';s tony. that camera was new. sorry to hear that. We should all keep an eye out as astro gears don't come often. from the look of things, the thugs probably know their stuff. have you been in contact with other astro guys in brisbane?

Haven't read all these posts so I don't know if this has been said: if the thieves could see anything else worth stealing that they didn't get the first time you might expect a return visit in the near future.

What they will do is wait until the gear has been replaced, then pay another visit

get the security camera's in before the gear is replaced Tony

Thats shocking news Tony!!!!!
Once your insurance comes to the party and its all under way it might pay to let us all know here the details of your gear so we can keep an eye out and try catch these morons.
I think being such a big close community here someone is bound to eventually hear something, even if it does take a while.

condolences

Sorry to hear aobut your loss Tony,
(i just found out)
I really feel for you mate, even if everything gets replaced by the insurance company, and lets hope they do, it never takes away the feelings that come from having some stangers/lowlives come and steal your precious belongings that you work hard to get. Like many others I too have been on the receiving end of people of cleaned out my entire flat once...so I can relate.
Dont despair, there are still some good people in the world, hopefully some of them work for your insurance company.

Everything is looking good regarding insurance...i stll have not had the final answer nor do I know how the funds will be arranged but averything is looking good to be replaced just waiting for the go ahead.

Nothing needed Petra just advice on new gear once I get the go ahead.

That's great news Tony, I hope they get it sorted out pronto - perhaps the loss will sting a little less if you consider the new gear as a kind of Christmas present. Best of luck with it all.
