WTB K-7, 18-55mm WR, M 50mm 1.7 and DA 55-300, Again.

I am looking to replace my K-7, 18-55mm WR, M 50mm 1.7 and DA 55-300, most of which were purchased off here with in the last month. Some scumbags broke into my 1st floor apartment at 3am whilst I was sleeping and made off with my entire kit, along with some other electronics and my handbag, they also took my Pentax Q + 3 lenses that I had owned for one whole day. Even though they forced my shutters open and I have an extensive police report - as they didn't actually brake my window to enter the property my wonderful French insurance has declined to cover me, as it wasn't forced entry. Très Bien! Non?

Anyway if anyone has any of the above, in good condition for sale and are happy to post to France, please do let me know.

Thanks!

That's awful. So sorry to hear that. Cannot help with replacements but have you reported it to the Police Nationale?
If you have a crime number the insurance really ought to honour it. Do you happen to pay extra to insure such expensive items? - I have cameras and computers mentioned on our policy so they are covered even when not at home.

Yes, the Police Nationale have given me our full report now, It is all to do with the terminology used, For the insurance to pay out in needs to be an 'enfoncer' but with out any damage to the property - apparently bent shutters do not count - it can not be an 'enfoncer', as it were. It is madness really, the insurance companies must be rubbing their hands together on this technicality! Unfortunately I had all my kit bagged up and ready for a shoot in the morning, it was an very easy grab. I am just glad nothing worse happened, I woke up and got out of bed as they were on their way out so there was no confrontation thankfully.

I must look into more detailed insurance over here, this has opened my eyes to how different it is from the UK!

Hi. Firstly, my sympathies for your predicament. I've been in France for a while, I know all about insurance companies and just about any other form of customer service here.

I have an 18-55mm WR in excellent condition, as new really as I only used it twice. I also have an excellent M50mm f1.7.

I have a Q with 01 prime, 04 toy wide and unofficial but good quality Q/K adaptor. I have been half-minded to sell but I haven't decided, would depend on price, which I haven't yet thought about either.

Hi really sorry for what happend to you and glad they disnt attack you in sleep.

I have 55-300 that i could sell and if you are interested i could sell mi FA50/1.4 either.
Let me know which lens you would be interested in and i send some pictures.

Got k7 with 9800 actuations for sale including 18-55 non-wr though. Could supply it with additional 3rd party battery and a third party grip. Please let me know if you are interested.
