Thanks much, rainman. Much appreciated.

TrinGt, at the very end of Bon Espoir road. Yes, they were in a car, but not exposed in any way. We kept checking the vehicle from where we were, on the beach obliquely in front of the car. The people who took these must have been fast. They also went with 4 cellphones and all our cash. Strangely enough they left the wallets with everything but the cash =S

The cell phones are goners more than likely. The cameras may be recoverable as they are both not that common. At least that is the hope.

Heard about the incident zodiaque...it's all over Facebook as well. Sorry for your loss. You really may have a good chance getting those cams back though especially the Lumix. Not very common in Trinidad. Also this is the third robbery incident I've heard of in Mayaro Beach since the beginning of this month. Bandits know school is out and a lot of folks will be liming and vacationing @ Mayaro Beach.

BTW that Lancer in the avatar of yours looks very familiar...are you from Palmiste or Gulf View by chance???

zodiaque · Postby **zodiaque** » April 13th, 2011, 1:20 pm

Yes. I am from Gulf View. That is my car, not my daily driver though.

Thank you for the concern. I know the bandits are especially active around vacation time. Hopefully people will be as safe as possible when on outings.

considering the Lumix is US$225 and the Canon 7D is US$1900 I think he'd prefer if they returned the Canon

That's true, but what I meant was that of the two the Lumix is not widely popular in Trinidad and sure to stand out.

The 7D is of course the priority. But if we can get one of them back, or both, It would be very much appreciated. Both of them are pretty rare locally.

smart phones by chance? in any event i doh see why the mobile providers can't help tracing these things, even without gps u cud get a general area via cell tower

one of the mobile providers said the numbers assigned to the stolen phones were NEVER issued and as such they can't do anything!

Extremely late response, but yep. The phone company said that they have no record of two of the phones stolen on their system.

That's funny, who have we been paying moneyt to for the past few years, and how were our phones working.

Highly suspicious.

good luck on getting them back bro, i feel for the 7D, check this out tho if he uploads any pictures he takes with the camera you have a good chance of getting some info.

wish you could get that response in writing.
Then if you have your original documents, pay for an AD showing such, and their response, wishing they'd also "forget" everyone else's numbers.
So we can all have some savings, since we can't have security.
