Well I hope they find the thug.
However if they do he will probably get community service which he wont turn up to!
I still think that the use of public humiliation (stocks, public caning, flogging, etc (I might stop at hanging and beheading)) is a better and cheaper option than prison.

TBH the thought had occurred to me when I was exploring the dunes between the caravan site and the Lighthouse. I was very aware of the possibility of ambush through those narrow paths. Late in the evening it's very quiet in some parts. Probably best to keep to the main paths and not go alone. Especially if carrying gear.

Is it possible to put a tracking device in your camera and lenses?

Keep a close eye on eBay. May take a month or two but there is a fair chance they will turn up there eventually.

no kathy but if images are taken with it them and then used on a photo sharing site such as flickr ,the exif data can be tracked via serial numbers .heard of it being done but its laborious and a shot in the dark
