I think so Ryan, or at least the police. Have you kept any screenshots or is anyone here clever enough to recover page from their history?
Gary.
Here you go mate:

That probably won't work. Last year I had a lens stolen, and a short while later one very like it popped up on eBay. I asked the seller for the serial number, on the grounds that I'd heard there were some batches of lenses with faults in the AF mechanism. 40 minutes later the auction was pulled from eBay. And of course I lost my chance of getting it back. (If it was my lens, which of course it might not have been.)I would ask for the serial number so you can check the warranty is valid or something. Make it up.
That sounds like a much better plan.You could ask for close ups and not mention the serial number, and then you might be able to spot any marks or indeed, the serial number...
Once I get all this **** sorted out we'll have to get together again for a spot of picture taking. Hopefully we'll get better weather than last time.
Best wishes
Ryan
While I'm at it - a big thanks to Stuart at Digital Depot for all of his help - cheers mate

^^^ what he said ^^^
When people buy insurance, all they worry about is the price, I should know I used to have to sell the stuff.
Before you even pick up the phone you should sit down and work out how much you need to insure to replace all your kit as new and what you want it covered for. Take this list and then go shopping for insurance. Do a quick search online, and then call the insurance company to check that everything you want covered under the insurance will be covered. You should do this well in advance of your policy coming up for renewel if you're looking to switch insurers, though typically insurers won't quote if you want the cover to start in more than 30 days time. Narrow your choice down to two or three insurance companies and get them to send you the relevent policy books. Read and compare them thoroughly. Then choose the company that best matches your requirements. If you can only afford the cheapest insurance then be aware of its limitations and do your best to limit your exposure to uninsured risks.
If you think all of the aboce is too much trouble, think about how much stress and trouble you have to go through if you find out that your insurance isn;t what you thought it was and you're not covered.
Thanks everyone. I'm still not counting my chickens but .....................
just read the thread through - very sorry to realize the stress, but glad it is moving to a conclusion..............
nobody has said........if your car was stolen ie No fault on you part...
i used "Help Hire" last year, who provided a free car, providing it was essential for my "travel to work" .. then billed the insurance company
too late for you ..but maybe a "heads-up" for anyone else ?
good luck.....

You'll no doubt have an enounter with the insurance company's investigations dept then. From (bitter) personal experience may I suggest you ask for all communications to be in writing, they have a habit of wanting everything to be done over the phone, but unless you record the call you'll have no way of proving what information you've given them and what they've said to you...
Now all you need is your car back and the "persons" responsible given a bloody good.... err talking to by plod.
The police in my case were totally not bothered after they had given me a crime number, even though there was cctv of the £$%^&**'s breaking into my van.
As all the prisons are full to bursting, persons found guilty of non violent offences should be put into stocks in the middle of town and be pelted with rotten fruit as they did in the middle ages, if the humiliation didn't shame them into changing their ways i'm sure it'd do more to lift the spirits of honest people to be the ones doing the throwing.

I think outsourcing the Prisons to India or Pakistan would be better...
