Forgive me if this has already been posted, too funny not to share...
From the Flickr Strobist group about what people do
to protect their gear from thieves...
"FWIW, I would always keep a flash charged and on 1/1 full power
when walking through a rough area at night. SB in left hand,
Gitzo monopod in right. Never had to use them, but I always felt
pretty good about the advantage they would have both given me.
(POP! ... sound of flash recycling, punctuated whoppity,
whoppity, whoppity sound of the Gitzo being used...)"
