Red One Kit, Denmark, 12/4/2010

Red One Kit, serial number 427, was collected friday, on December 4th, from our facility in Århus, Denmark for dry hire by a company called "TD-kompagniet" in Copenhagen. It was due back Sunday, December 6th. We have yet to see it, and are unable to get in touch with the hirer. If anybody is offered a Red One matching this number for sale could you please get in touch me on this number +4541195777 or send me an email thecompany@thecompany.dk

The following have been stolen:
RED body numer 427
RED 300mm lens
RED 18-50mm lens
RED 50-150mm lens
RED charger
RED batteries x2
ARRI MB 20 mattebox + ND filters
RED Drives x 2

The equipment was packed in two black Peli-cases.

The same weekend "TD-kompagniet" in Copenhagen "rented" two Sony XDCAM ENG-sets from another ren tal house here in Aarhus,
one Sony PDW-700 XDCAM HD camera (number 60602), and one Sony PDW-800 XDCAM camera (number 10485)

__________________
Such fraudulent hires have been taking place all over the Europe, USA and Asia for years. A bogus company w/ some charmy website, bogus address, using pre-paid cell phones, paying cash in advance, get the gear on Fridays promising to return 3 days later, but it never happen. Some people seems to be making a way of living out of this, at others expense.

Sony DSR-50, New York, 11/24/09

I had the misfortune of having my van broken into in NYC this month. I do have, as many of my fellow cameramen have, an equipment cage in the back, but I made the mistake of leaving some gear in the un-protected back seat.

Stolen: a Sony DSR-50 in Pelican Case s/n 12761 (DVCAM recorder)
Also taken: four Dionic 90 batteries. I only had two of the s/n recorded #14139ROBS and #14141ROBS.

I guess now that the economy is getting worse the criminals have stepped up their pace!
I learned the hard way, don't leave anything of value in a parked car- especially in an NYP space, they know we park there!

Please post this so no one makes the mistake of buying "hot" gear on E-bay.
Many thanks for this service,
Ted

ARRI SOFTBANK IV lighting Kit, Burbank, CA, 11/9/09

While being shipped to my Los Angeles work address in last week of August 2009 FED-EX "lost" track of my ARRI SOFTBANK IV lighting Kit. (1-1K, 1-650, 1-300, 2-150). It was tracked to their SUNLAND, CA center, but was LOST after that. (Fed-ex eventually paid me the cost I paid for the kit in Sept 2006 - which was about $2700. ) I believe it was a person at the SUNLAND location that "misplaced" my kit. I am curious if these ever show up.

STOLEN ARRI SOFTBANK IV LIGHTING KIT - 5 LIGHTS, 4 STANDS, 1 CHIMERA and accessories.
SERIAL NUMBERS for the lights:

RED One Package and Cooke Lens, Boston, 12/24/08

First, what was taken:

RED One serial# 1746 includes: CF Module, Base Production Pack, RED Viewfinder, RED LCD Monitor, Element Technica Video Breakout box, Element Technica EVF Support Bracket

Cooke 18-100 Lens serial# 789291

Also stolen: 320GB RED Hard Drive, 4 RED Camera Batteries, 2 RED Battery Chargers, A&J Cases with BOSTON CAMERA engraved on the valance plus cables and accessories

2 Film Tools Car Mounts, 1 large 3 suction mount and one single car mount

Some details of what happened that might help to prevent it happening to someone else.
The equipment was being rented by a new client who called themselves B and H Films although on some of the paperwork it also appeared as Band H films. The names given for the Rental Application were Rich Robinson and his partner Rachel Robinson. They were in town to do a T-Mobile spot, and they hired 3 locals over craig's list as Production Assistants. Their insurance certificate was checked and valid. They listed one of the local PA's hired as well as another local Rental House as references. Since both were part of this job, they were able to corroborate a relationship with the client.

All new clients are COD. The Production Assistants came in on Wednesday December 24th to pick up the equipment. Since they are local crew, they were known by the employees. One of them had a check from the company which did not draw any red flags and they left with the equipment and met two other people identifying themselves as Nick and Christina in another town who took possession of the equipment. One of the local crew members had previously met Nick and Christina when he was hired for this spot so still no red flags. He described them as both African American in their Late 20's or early 30's, driving a Red Pontiac Vibe with North Carolina plates.

We were contacted by one of the local Production Assistants on Saturday December 27th. This was the scheduled shoot day and only the local crew members appeared on location. Since then we have been in contact with the police, insurance companies, everyone involved and other local contacts trying to put all the details together. The job was scheduled to return on Monday December 29th and, of course, did not.

Any info, please contact dunn@rule.com

Panasonic HVX200, New York City - West Village, 10/24/08

Stolen from inside shop at corner of Greenwich and Jane st. by a team of Hispanic males, the first approximately 5'8" heavy set, lighter completion with a mustache, straight short black hair with brown leather jacket, having the appearance of a delivery man and his partner also hispanic male approximately 5'7" thinner build. This took place inside a boutique apparel store. The subjects must have watched us load onto the hand cart from the truck parked about a block and a half away, the producer remembered seeing them on the street prior. Typical distraction theft, first subject creates the distraction and the second snatches as both flee before anyone notices. Reported to NYPD 6th Pct.

Stolen:
Panasonic HVX200 serial #B8TCA0356
2x 32GB P2 cards (Serial #s AAF08A2473, AAF08A2478 )
Lectrosonics UM200/UCR200 wireless system
Sennheiser ME-66 shotgun mic
Sony ECM-77 lav mic

High Def Cameras and Gear, Ontario, 4/19/2007

Charles Street Video was broken into on Thursday night and had the core of its recently acquired mobile packages stolen, including both of its new, high definition video cameras. Attached is a list of the gear that was taken. We have secured the equipment office and started to process an insurance claim. We are optimistic that our claim will be honoured but even should it be, the theft will cost the facility thousands of dollars. This is distressing but perhaps even more so is the idea that the thief(ves) likely knew the organization.

Beware of credit card fraud ring

Beware of credit card fraud ring working out of Richton Park and Chicago Illinois. Using stolen credit card information these guys have been hitting professional A/V dealers since mid December. They have all of the necessary credit card information to make you believe you are dealing with the true credit card holder. They want everything shipped priority overnight to their office, not their bill to address. Do not ship to an address that cannot be verified by the credit card company. If you ask, most credit card companies will call their clients and verify that they authorized the purchase. On 12-29-05 we were the victim of this theft ring.

We lost: (1) JVC GY-HD100U Camcorder s/n 13030285

Forwarded from Ed Clare of Pera:

Boston Camera reports the theft of some gear on Monday, June 13th, when someone came into take out some gear, paid, and never returned. He rented two miniDV cameras from us. Usually, for these types of small rentals we take a $1000 deposit on each camera and let the person walk out the door. Unfortunately, this time the cameras did not come back. The thief has also recently stole similar gear from Talamas Broadcast, another Boston-area rental house.

He is using the name Erik Meyers. The address he is using is a post box at a Mailboxes Etc. in Providence, RI. His phone numbers have since been disconnected and he has vanished.

The guy is selling these things on eBay under the name cinemablocks. They even have a bogus website:cinemablocks.com. The equipment stolen: Sony HVR-Z1U - SERIAL NUMBER 1110358 plus three batteries, charger, remote control, firewire cables Canon XL2 - SERIAL NUMBER 332900400996 plus three batteries, charger, remote control, firewire cables (2) Sachtler DV2 II tripod heads and legs

Sony DSR-400, Santa Ana, CA, 8/13/05

On August 13, 2005, I was contracted to work at an event at the Doubletree Hotel at 201 E. MacArthur Blvd. Santa Ana, CA 92707 as a videographer.
At approximately 6:40 p.m., I asked the band members, who I had been working with the entire day, to watch my camera for two minutes to use the restroom. Michael agreed to watch my camera. I then left the room for two minutes and when I returned the camera was missing. The Christian Band that was playing had all jumped out of their seats and we scoured the hotel parking lot within seconds of finding out it was missing, talking to the valet, going down to the parking structure to find nothing.

I then notified Santa Ana Police Department and spoke with Officer Caveness #2963 who then wrote a report and gave me the case number of #05-34947.

On August 15, 2005, I contacted the Director of Food and Beverage at the Doubletree Hotel. He told me I could review their video surveillance system which I did and found on August 13, 2005 at 6:44 p.m. a man appeared exiting the service entrance of the hotel with my camera and tri-pod. The man was dressed like a maintenance worker with tool belt and name badge. He was either white or Hispanic male 160-185 lbs, between 5’5” and 6’ tall, between 30-40 years old, dark thinning hair with dark pants, black tennis shoes, He exited the hotel out of an emergency entrance which goes outside of the hotel where there were no more surveillance cameras.

Upon reviewing the surveillance tapes, the Manager at the Doubletree asked if I would like a copy of the videotape. I said yes and the General Manager, agreed to provide the tape to me.I then called Santa Ana Police Department to do a follow up on the description and to have the emergency door fingerprinted and supplied the case number which was on file.

Having been a videographer for seventeen years, it disgusts me to see that kind of behavior happen in a respectable establishment. I think that the hotel staff should be better trained in identifying their staff, especially using service entrances where it is “employees only.” I do hundreds of events a year and the only place where I have encountered problems is at hotels. Hotels should be much more responsible for the safety of the guests and their property while they are in the facility.

High Def lens and Viewfinder, 5/10/04

A Canon HJ15x8.5BIRS and a HDVF-20 were stolen sometime between 5pm Monday and 5 pm Tuesday 5/10 & 5/11 while en route from Chicago to Portland. The shipping cases were delivered to their intended recipient with a the subject key items missing from the shipment contents.

The gear was shipped using a freight forwarding company that in turn utilized SWA Cargo at Midway Airport in Chicago to move the equipmnet by air. There was a weather delay in Chicago that night and the equipment ended up sitting for over 12 hours on the cargo floor, relatively unattended. When the equipment arrived in Portland, it was discovered that the lens case had been emptied and the camera case had been opened, camera removed, viewfinder removed from camera and the camera then returned to case and closed. The equipment could have been stolen at any point en route however, the cargo dock is the only suspicious gap in unattended security.

Equipment missing: Canon HJ15x8 Lens Serial number 10142 Sony HDVF-20A Serial number to follow.

I'll ask that people please call either Kevin O'Connor or Kari Hess at Fletcher Chicago 312-932-2700 800-635-3824 with any information.

6/2/03

Here is an interesting story - a company called Tommie Productions, Jerry Grammar and Thomas Plunkett, address in Reno, NV. rented a Canon J9x5.2 lens, sent a money order, copy of social security card and Texas drivers license along with an insurance certificate from Truman Van Dyke. "Jerry Grammer" did have a Texas accent. They had someone pick up the lens (and a Sony 570 with Canon 9x5.2 from Rental Express here in San Francisco). They stalled on the return, kept us in stories via phone and email and then disappeared.
This happened on June 2 but I just discovered this web site. By the way, their insurance claimed that they were defrauded by their client and therefore the insurance was invalid! I've had to file a claim with my own insurance.

Canon Ja9x5.2 B4 WRS lens, serial #12174
