DAMN IT! Camera stolen at the store.
Well I just walked passed the counter with our point and shoots and one is missing. I think I know when it happened. I was helping some other customers near the register and a couple of teenage guys came in and looked around for a moment or two and then left. I glanced over at the case just to see, but from my angle I couldn't see the missing one.

Crap!

I guess the best that you can think is that they are poor photo-wannab's and they couldn't afford a camera, or you could just think that they sold it to pawn off and buy some crack.

The first one will make you feel better.

Every real Black&White picture has silver lining.

It's not the size of the camera, it's the emotion in the emulsion.

Reality is just a shadow of four-dimensional space-time.

Misery likes company? Some years ago, when I was young & foolish...
I put up for sale in a local shop, my Nikon FE and 105/2.5 A customer wanted it, and it was sent over to the nearby 'ganif' of a repair shop for a checkup.
Ganif is thief in Yiddish slang. The FE & 105/2.5 disappeared! I was
compensated to some extent, but still remember that day with regret and !

We are just a small store, so we don' t have tethers and such on them. Obviously it puts us at higher risk for this kinda thing but luckily it happens pretty rarely.
