Matt Pacini Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, that sucks! If I were you, I would print a flyer & hand it out at every pawn shop within 30 miles, and I'd keep checking Craigslist ads everywhere around your area too, and obviously, ebay. Really sad...

Jason Hinkle RIP Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The Grinch arrived early this year and stole my Arri SR2 Super 16 and Cooke lens from my car in Vancouver, Canada. that really stinks. i have travelled to vancouver several times in a touring band and, though the city is incredible and beautiful, every person we met along the way told us that theft of music gear from a car/van is extremely common. we were warned many times to the point where we were so paranoid that we slept in our van. it makes me really angry when people steal gear used for another person's livelihood. i sincerely hope that you do get it returned.

Evan Ferrario Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 That sucks, the number of places you can sell an Arri SR2 are very limited, you might get lucky and find someone trying to resell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICK BRAMPTON Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Good news. As mentioned above, it is difficult to sell Super 16 gear so, when our local boys in blue executed a search warrant at a home suspected of being a repository for stolen goods, the Arri and all the accessories were there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
