It really hurts to have stuff stolen. Happened to me in Chicago two years ago. I found the camera posted on ebay (serial number) but the Chicago police really didn't do anything. Chicago and San Francisco are two places I no longer go because of the crime. :(

So sorry to hear about the theft. It can be really frustrating when things like this happen. I had over $100K worth of photo equipment stolen from my production vehicle in San Francisco 3 years ago. Same deal - the police never even called me back after I filed the police report. After a little research, I discovered that San Fran is a hotbed for vehicle break-ins. In my case it happened on a Saturday at noon on a busy street near Ghirardelli Square - which tells me that it's not safe to leave a vehicle unattended anywhere in the city. Also, a photographer was murdered at Twin Peaks in 2017, so it's not just auto break-ins that are concerning. I haven't worked there since and don't plan to.

After it happened I also read all about it. It happened to me at Treasure Island right in front of restaurant in the parking lit within 10-15 minutes after my arrival. I forgot the camera bag and when I returned it was gone. Several other cars too. The thieves must have been waiting there. I also read that at Treasure Island a woman was robbed at gunpoint when she didn't want to give them her camera. Very scary.

My only reaction is that the San Francisco Police Dept. should be ashamed of itself. Any other Police Dept. would set up a series of stings and over time put an end to this. The failure of the San Francisco Police Dept. to stop it reflects a lack of will. They apparently want to create a "safe space" for thieves to do their thing.
BTW, you missed the story about the photographer that was shot to death in SF a few years ago in Treasure Island. Nice neighborhood.

I have heard that SF is going downhill fast. Once a city has decided that it doesn't care about "normal" folk any more, the ones who walk on foot without bodyguards, it's game over.
The good news is a place can be cleaned up. NY was terrible when I was young and now it's supposed to be ok.

It's not the police that are the problem. It's the politicians that run the place. They've made the city a haven for drug addicts over the years, at one point even paying them to come. ::) I refuse to go there.

Stings are apparently racist. Or so Chicago thinks, after police left a truck full of Nike sneakers in the South side. Demonstrations ensued.

On the other hand, with over 2Mp (people not pixels) in jail in the US, it would seem that locating and jailing people for property crime would be a non-feasible proposition. Especially since it's much more urgent to jail all the small time drug users and small time dealers while carefully preserving their business, as their executives pay the politicians to preserve the prohibition that makes them rich, and enact laws that stops the illicit drug trade's billions from being traced and seized..
I don't think anyone steals a Hassy to make rent, or purchase a Ferrari. They steal it from a car to make their day's dosage of heroin, cocaine or crack, resell it at $100 or $200. But in fact the heroin costs $0.01 to make and would cost $5 in a pharmacy if the cartels didn't pay the politicians to keep the prohibition.
I had my Nikon system stolen some years ago. My neighbour the addict broke in and took it. My girlfriend overheard that he got 12 doses for it, I guess enough to keep him and his girl happy for a week. I couldn't pick a fight with my neighbour as I wanted to stay alive. The funny part is after a while he got so notorious that the cops stopped me in my own building because they thought I was him. Then he moved out.
You can't have your drugs, have your drug prohibition, and a zero drug-crime society.

PS. When I was younger, robbers were killing the German tourists in Florida wholesale. Germans presumably because they were the Europeans rich enough to rent cars. You can read about it at the link. The interesting part is the indignation at the complaints of the German press, who didn't understand that being killed is part of the tourist experience. As I remember it, the Germans boycotted Florida after they got collectively angry and then, mysteriously, the police put an end to the deadly robberies.

Giuliani is widely credited with cleaning up NY, true or not. He should move to SF and run for Mayor to clean up the crime problem. He would be real popular there! A match made in Hell.

I think all the New-Yorkers got together and cleaned up the city. When I visited in 1978 or so, I couldn't believe that a place so dirty and run down and so frightening could exist in the developed world, let alone be the richest city of the richest country. I'd heard stories told by friends of my parents how old people would carry guns to make their grocery runs, and I never understood them before I went there.

Damn dude I'm sorry to hear that. That really sucks and I hope you get it back.

I'm very sorry to hear this.
Make sure to report your lost equipment through your Hasselblad dealer.
When any of our clients have had Phase One gear stolen we've registered it in the service system as stolen, so if anyone ever calls or emails about that equipment (for service, support, to ask about warranty) it shows the tech that it is stolen. I assume Hasselblad has a similar capability.

Wow, Doug, for the amount of Shilling you do for Phase One in completely unrelated posts, you would make a great Phase One salesman.

Give me a break.
I know Phase One. I don’t know Hasselblad. I know such a mechanism does exist for Phase One and assume-but-do-not-know it exists for Hasselblad as well.
I could have said “report this to Hasselblad so they can note it’s stolen in their system” but if it turns out there is not such a procedure at Hasselblad then that advice would be confusing and misleading. If Hassy reps frequented this forum with regularity then I would leave it to them (if you have a friend at Hassy I encourage you to have them participate on a more ongoing basis), but having seen no post to this point made on the thread I thought it was practical and actionable advice, and I thought the context behind why I was suggesting it was helpful.
If someone (the OP, someone from Hassy, another user who has done so) confirms that Hassy has such a registry and explains their preferred procedure (talk to a specific department? talk to your dealer? email a specific address? go to a specific URL?), then in the future I will gladly note that procedure without mentioning any other camera companies, because then it wouldn't provide any context.
My concern is for the guy who lost his camera.

Doug was explaining the system which manufacturers have in place to help their customers with theft issues. Canon told me they do the same.
Doug may be a salesman (when he's not a book author) but he has a history of being helpful to all members of this forum regardless of their brand of allegiance.

I’ve seen a few mean-spirited comments on LuLa, but this one seems to take the cake, as it was given in response to a perfectly useful and legitimate comment by Doug. Pointing out that certain dealers have that practice is a generally valuable information. Pointing out to the OP to try that avenue with their dealer is a specifically valuable information.

Perhaps you could suggest the procedure Canon advised in case someone with that kind of camera comes across this thread now or in the future. i.e. Was it a specific phone number or email? the dealer from whom you purchased? the service center? the general information line? specific URL?

I really hate hearing about stolen cameras.
I had a Canon stolen from the back of a wedding a long time ago. I had two kits with me, and during a prayer in the wedding put one down at the back of the church to move to the front-side of the church for a photo. I couldn't have been away from it for more than 90 seconds. Gone.
My best guess is someone at the church was a thief who sat toward the back waiting for some valuable (purse, camera bag, whatever) to be unwatched, picked it up moments after I put it down and just walked out. Who is on close guard at a wedding? Yet, with all the different connections people have to a wedding (two different families, friends with different connections to the couple, etc) nobody would call someone out for not being an invited guest as long as they dressed reasonably.
It felt worse than the loss of property. The insurance paid out as expected, but the experience left me feeling violated and I can't help but think it tainted my view of the world, of strangers, of humanity. I've obviously led a pretty lucky and privileged life that this is one of the worst things that's happened to me, but that doesn't make it suck less.
It also stings especially badly to hear about a stolen camera when it's a niche/speciality camera. One could imagine someone unloading a Canon (because it's a high-volume camera that is common) but, for example, when you hear about a Hassy/Phase/Alpa/Cambo/Arca etc being stolen it just seems less likely to me that the thief would be able to move that through the normal stolen-goods channels (i.e. pawn shop, craigslist, eBay etc) and would probably just ditch them. Knowing it probably ended up tossed in a dumpster is a real crime against these beautiful cameras. I have no particular expertise to know that this is the case, just my gut feeling. If anyone here worked in law enforcement or otherwise has some expertise here I'd love to hear their thoughts, especially regarding any not-yet-said ideas for where to look for the lost gear and/or how to get the police to take a bit more interest in helping.

I've called out Doug in the past but I don't see how his suggestion to report this theft to the manufacturer is anything other than plain common sense.

It is plain common sense, you are right. And that's why we didn't need an advertorial attached to it. When there is a post about Fuji, Doug is often there derailing and talking about Phase One. When there is a post about Hasselblad, Doug is often there derailing and talking about Phase One. The forum activity seems to have shrunk a lot in the last year, at least relative to other forums and I believe this is one reason why.
There are many reps who who contribute very valuable information without the spam and I enjoy their posts and company.
I suggest if anyone wants to talk about this some more we take it to another thread.
-
As a Hasselblad user for some 30 years I would have loved to have Doug as my dealer.

In my case I belonged to CPS, so you record all your numbers on their web site.
But otherwise I think you can call their service center. They told me every device that is handed in for repair is checked against the theft register, which I assume is international. I guess the advantage is that the police can interview the new "owner" before the item is handed back to them, and eg in the case of theft rings they will eventually be able to backtrace some of the fences.
It would be useful to make this fact more widely known, because in many places a photographer is regarded as an ATM with feet.

Wouldn't that be the task/responsibility of the insurance company. Legally, they are the "owners" of the stolen good as soon as payments have been made, right?
I would (naively ? ...) imagine that camera insurance companies (in their best own profit interest) have their own mechanisms in place to cooperate with the main photographer associations, camera manufactures, auction sites, etc. in order to get informations about the whereabouts of stolen items.

No way. Unless you are talking about a theft of huge proportions (e.g., the Gardner Museum art theft in Boston), the insurance companies NEVER go looking for the stolen goods. They view that as a waste of time, money and effort.
-
I know you are all dying to know this, but the OP who had his X1D kit stolen cross posted this on the X1D Facebook page and a real, live Hasselblad employee (imagine that!) responded immediately advising the OP to email the serial number information to Hasselbad's Customer Service so that Hasselblad has it on file in the event the equipment is sent in for repair. Just like Doug suggested would be the case.

really sorry to hear...just sucks...whoever stole it probably had no real clue of the value...not that that really matters anyway...
I saw the signs at land's end last time i was in SF, felt funny to park my car right below one....reminded me of NY and how everybody made sure to leave NOTHING in the car and made sure nothing might look like it might cover something up....
i go to SF frequently and am always so amazed how a city with such incredible wealth obviously has so little interest in simple solutions that work.....locking people up does not work....not providing housing does not work...more police does not work....
i do feel that there still is some of the 60's idea floating somewhere that still brings young people to SF and get into heavier and heavier drugs....but that is exactly where the city should step in....its a little like in Venice beach...seeing young kids living in the streets is really hard for me....maybe it is "their choice" at that point but there is no return from that...not with the business of incarceration ruining any chance of really getting out.....
i would not be surprised to see this kit turn up somewhere soon.....whoever stole it probably sold it for nothing and whoever bought it and knew what they bought had to know that it was stolen, so there should be some conscience there.....or at worst hopefully some Karma along the way....
my insurance covers items stolen out of my car, supposedly as long as a police report is filed with serial numbers....i hope i never have to depend one that....

The stuff that gets stolen just gets swept up in the recycling sewers that have sprung up to provide addicts with their daily necessities - which pharmacies could hand out for $5 per day easily and turn a profit if they were allowed to - just like bars sell beers and spirits and the money they generate doesn't go to Mexico or Colombia..
As for the state of SF you need to understand the Genghis Khan mentality of the new elites "It is not enough that I have won, others must be shown to have lost".

unfortunately you are 100% correct.....not so sure how happy the ones (literally) stepping over the homeless actually are....most don't look it....mid 6 figure salaries dont go very far in SF....add in student loans and the double (of actual first world nations) cost of healthcare...not so sure about the actual quality of life...but hey, at least we have the strong military to beat everybody into submission....

Bo_Dez get, I am sure Doug was being strictly helpful here, but expressed himself badly. Pick another occasion to get angry about his spamming eg. the IQ threads if you really want to do that. In this thread he was helpful.
Myself I assume that Doug helps with running costs here with advertising, which is why he gets to spam the forum with infomercials, we get to tease him when he tries his oversell, he always takes our resistance politely like a gentleman, and he *is* genuinely helpful when he's not stuck in his sales track. So live, and let live ...

As a frequent traveler to San Francisco and the Bay Area in general, I can personally attest to the professionalism of car and property crime there. I’ve had customers mugged in the Tenderloin district (we moved our office out), colleagues, customers and suppliers have their rental cars broken into and a trunk load of laptop bags removed from right outside nice restaurants in Burlingame, and not to mention my own theft experience of my SUV being broken into right outside a restaurant in Emoryville even with a security guard in the parking lot. The later smash & grab was $50k of Alpa gear that we actually saw being taken by the crew waiting in the parking lot in a Cadillac Escalade which almost ran us down as it sped off to the freeway. (Police cared less about the scale of the loss but were bothered by the attempted hit & run).
I informed Alpa and all Alpa dealers with the serial numbers. I assume that the Alpa/Rodie gear got dumped or likely fenced off to markets less concerned about legality such as China/HK where there is a ready market for such gear. Who knows, maybe one day it’ll resurface?
Thieves target obvious rental & out of state vehicles. They literally sit and canvas the property watching for business, tourist and folks who even take measures to hide anything in the car. In my case I think I had the double whammy of obviously taking my work laptop rucksack with me, plus having an out of state expensive SUV sitting behind. The only saving grace was that they missed the bag with my Phase One gear in it ...

Hope your system is found and reunited with you jensputzier and will keep an eye out for it in this part of the world.
+1 for Doug Peterson - have heard from other Dealers and P1 that Phase One do have a stolen list of serial numbers and hopefully Hasselblad do the same.

Interesting, how would one do that? My insurances paid a total of 1/3 of the value so I would still be interested to find it. Also I had received a great bonus on the X1D three lens kit that is now not available anymore.

https://www.stolencamerafinder.com/ - it scans photo sharing services for serial numbers, and when you feed it one from you camera (most likely with each lens) it'll point out any that match.
