I'm posting this for a friend, Walt Anderson of Better Beamer fame. His car was broken into last evening during his stay in Green valley, south of Tucson, his 1Dx MK II and a 400 f4 Do lens were the two big items taken. All totaled four cameras and seven lenses were lost. His gear was insured through NANPA so everything is covered. This was a smash and grab operation so the gear might turn up at a local pawn shop or even taken to Mexico. If anyone reads an eBay sale that's too good to be true please let me know. Thanks.

I live 100 miles west of Green Valley. GV is considered "gentrified," so I'd guess local thugs. Not necessarily gone to Mexico. Far better market in pawn and such shops in Tucson. Would notify Tucson PD particularly if you have serial numbers. Might help, though a long shot.
"There is no defense against a determined thief." Trunk or complete covering when moving. Personally I wouldn't take high end gear into Mexico. A lot of desperate people existing close to the border. I have a LX100 I slip along and leave things like cells, computers, etc. behind. My trips are no more than 3-4 days in Puerto Peņasco, but no point in tempting otherwise honest people.
