So, today I left the house in a rush and left my cell phone in my
apartment. While I was at work, someone broke in to my apartment and
stole all of my digital gear. Nikon D2x and D2Hs. A 17-55mm G DX ED
AFS, a 14mm f/3.5 Sigma AF and my just purchased for a song and cleaned
24mm f/2.8 AIS. Also stolen was my very recently invested-in cell phone.

My housemate had a few rings stolen, earrings, a Canon IVSB with
Jupiter-12 and a Pentax Spotmatic F with 50mm f/1.4 SMC Takumar.

This day was a headache at my crappy retail job and utter heartache
when I got back to my apartment. My ability to make more than half of
my income is gone and I was waiting until my next paycheck to insure my
gear with a new partner company through my auto insurance company.

To all those in the greater NYC/Philly area, this corridor is rife with
gear being fenced back and forth between the cities. If, by chance, you
happen to notice a rather rare D2Hs (hard to come by since people kept
them) let me know and I'll alert the authorities. I have all serial
numbers of everything that is missing except that awesome *new* 24mm.

One of these days my sh**ty life might turn around. 

Thanks all.

Phil Forrest
