D'oh... Nikon gets $160,000 of gear stolen from an unattended van

[firestarter]

"The security van which was transporting approximately £100, 000 worth of Nikon camera equipment from the Dublin NPS Roadshow was targetted by criminals on Saturday and all the equipment stolen."

Including a couple of D4s and a D800...

Shoot.

I wonder how easy it is to sell this kind of pro gear without raising any alarm and getting caught. I mean, people who use this kind of gear are already registered as pros and don't want to get involved into this.

Still, 200mm, 200-400mm, 300mm, 400mm, 500mm, 600mm, plus all the new cameras (and the D3X)... it's a nice catch.

and all the serial numbers are actually on nikonrumors published, chances of flogging them without raising an alarm are slim...
