in this case reading the news paper story ,they are not giving out the make ,type ,model involved .

By not giving the details they are no doubt hoping to retrieve it. Once the serial numbers are aired the gear will end up in the nearest river.

In our town it's standard practise for thieves to offload what they can and then dump the rest off the 'cut' bridge. If they under slung the bridge with a net they would recover everything that was stolen for miles around!

Personally I would prefer it to be publicised and lost. Don't want any gear back that someone has manhandled. That's what insurance is for.

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

.......would have to be on the mobile networks I suspect.

Though it does make me wonder what satisfaction you'd get if you were mugged of your bag, which happened to contain 1) anthrax spores, 2) a bomb you could remotely detonate, 3) lethal tree frogs, 4) highly radioactive isotope.

These people are scum bags, their excuse would be "not my fault I ain't got no job"

...neither have I but I don't go around bashing innocent people on the head or nicking stuff.

This is why the village stocks was always a good idea, and the birch....no one ever went back for a second dose of that.

What have we got?
....Girl shot in the head by cowards for no reason than she wanted an education.

....our 'celebrities' turning out to be nothing other than kiddy fiddlers.

.....Tax, tax, and more bloody tax.

.....Young girl missing in Wales.

.....A lady vet murdered.

We need some kind of cultural revolution in this country, with 'had it coming' laws where good citizens can meter punishment as they see fit to cowards, paedos muggers, anus-brained Audi / BMW, drivers, bully bosses, arrogant town hall staff etc. The whole lot....cap 'em.

If they have it due, they should get it on the spot.

Oh and special for HR office tarts.....tarred & feathered!

Traffic wardens ?....still working on it, but it's gonna be humiliating and it'll hurt, a lot.

Cops who've tasered innocent people?....440v 3ph ought to do it. Or chuck 'em on an electrified railway.

Politicians and judges who extradite British people for kangaroo trials in the US?.....Traitor's gate then decapitation.

looks like the UK is just as sick as the US, problem is nothing to be done, by honest people anyway.

At last someone near to understanding how we went down the pan. i.e. we've gone down because of two quisling governments importing american ideology into the way our daily lives are governed:

Non-public facing public sector.
Swipe card access everywhere.
Corporate model in just about everything.
Spying on citizens.
Pricing EVERYTHING.
Giving the security services licence to do what the hell they like to anyone objecting to traitor government.
Assassinating people who get in the way of illegal invasions.
Giving nasty little illegal toys to the police, usually imported from the US.
Covertly passing all UK citizens private data to the CIA.
Knocking off anyone who 'could' pose a threat, but hasn't actually done anything.
Spy cameras everywhere.

Not difficult to see where the corporate-ism disease was imported from, and who by.

Back to topic....whoever did this mugging has no excuse in my opinion, there is no mitigation for stealing from and bashing someone up who's probably worked hard for what he's got.

Unforgivable, I hope they catch the coward.

Not sure I take this view as is anti-American in its slant. 
The problem isnt America but it is the adoption of policies that are multi-national and then screaming when they dont work everywhere.

Whilst some of the problems seem to come from America when you research the source and cause it is different.  The USA as a free and open-minded country (in general, there are always exceptions) tend to be 'first adopters' and frequently pay the price for this.

I think if you want to complain about something then look into the glass house and check this out........

FYI it is now illegal in UK for more than 20 people to gather together in a public place without notifying the police.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Order_Act_1986

Processions and assemblies

Section 11 - Advance notice of public processions requires at least 6 clear days' written notice to be given to the police before most public processions, including details of the intended time and route, and giving the name and address of at least one person proposing to organise it; creates offences for the organisers of a procession if they do not give sufficient notice, or if the procession diverges from the notified time or route

Section 12 - Imposing conditions on public processions provides police the power to impose conditions on processions "to prevent serious public disorder, serious criminal damage or serious disruption to the life of the community"

Section 13 - Prohibiting public processions
Chief Police Officer has the power to ban public processions up to three months by applying to local authority for a banning order which needs subsequent confirmation from the Home Secretary.

Section 14 - Imposing conditions on public assemblies provides police the power to impose conditions on assemblies "to prevent serious public disorder, serious criminal damage or serious disruption to the life of the community". The conditions are limited to the specifying of:


the number of people who may take part, the location of the assembly, and its maximum duration.

Section 14A -
Prohibiting trespassory assemblies
added by section 70 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, to control "raves"

Section 16 - Public Assembly -
Means an assembly of 20 or more persons in a public place which is wholly or partly open to the air.



The UK is a police state controlled by the grey suits who decide what you can or cant do. So if you dont like it then you cant protest as less than 20 people is nothing and more than 20 is unlawful assembly and allows you to be arrested.

UK has a great deal to learn about free speech and expression.
