I have heard all sorts of stories about people having their camera gear stolen, stories that give me shivers up my spine. I remember hearing of a photographer falling asleep on a train, he was in a foreign country, you know, travelling around and he was pretty tired. He wanted to have a quick sleep during his train trip, but was worried about his camera bag being stolen, he wrapped the shoulder strap of his camera bag around his leg hoping this would wake him if someone tried to steal it.

And of course, all of his camera gear was stolen. All that was left was the strap, they had used something to cut through the strap at each end, and the rest was all theirs.
Losing his camera gear wasn’t the worst of it, he had been out all day on the trip of a lifetime, getting images he had dreamt about for months as he saved to go on this ‘once in a lifetime’ trip. He had backed up his images too, but the hard drive was in the bag that was stolen, they got that too! This is just one of many stories I have heard, some camera gear is stolen from peoples homes or cars, I have even heard of a wedding photographer losing his camera gear whilst shooting a wedding ceremony! Lenstag will help you Locate your Stolen Camera Gear Over a year ago now,, I can’t remember how, or why. As soon as I worked out what it was for and how it worked, I decided to register and create my own Lenstag account. I started to list all my gear and enter all the values, and then a question popped up in my head. Who am I giving all this information too?
Maybe this is a way for someone to find out what I have so they can come and steal my camera gear? I actually deleted the whole list of camera gear with this fear lodged in my head (I am only human after all) The last thing I want to do is buy stolen camera gear! Back in May of this year, after dealing with a shady character with a deal too good to be true, I decided to check out Lenstag again, this time, I wanted to see if I could use Lenstag as a way to check a serial number on second hand camera gear to make sure it wasn’t stolen before I bought it. I am an and addict, and sometimes even I am a little sceptical if the deal is just too good to be true, the last thing I want to do is buy stolen camera gear! At this same time I decided to register my Nikon D800 and get it verified on Lenstag, this process was pretty simple, the hardest part is taking and uploading a photo of the serial number, not a big challenge for even the newest photographer.
Since then, I have watched each month as Lenstag scours the web and finds my images, and at the end of the month sends me a report outlining what images it found and on what sites. Lenstag somehow checks the exif info of all the photos on the web, and if it matches your serial number on one of these photos, it lets you know!
Pretty cool huh! Anyway, last month, I read another story of a photographer that had their camera gear stolen, this time though, there was a much happier end to the story, this photographer had their stolen camera gear recovered, all thanks to the services of Lenstag. Best of all, Lenstag is FREE! As you can see, I am well over my fear of Lenstag being a shoddy site trying to gather information about camera gear in some elaborate plan to steal it all!
