Help needed, although probably futile

[msurailfan]

Alright guys I hate to put this up because these kind of things never end well, but here we go.

My camera was stolen out of my car last night. Don't ask how, I haven't a clue. I locked my car (as I always do) and there was no sign of forced entry. You're just going to have to take my word for it. So here's my plea:

If any of you could maybe keep an eye out on eBay or craigslist or the like (which I'm planning on hawking for the next 3 weeks), and keep a look out for the following, I would be very appreciative:

Canon 40D DSLR
Sigma EX DG 24-70mm
Sigma EX DG 70-300mm

I know this stuff isn't great, but it was my first DSLR and a gift from my parents and that camera meant a LOT to me. All of the above was in a Zeikos camera bag, maybe 12x6x10 - ish. I'm thinking that if it's going to be sold, it will be sold as a package, since a few lens caps and other miscellaneous hardware was not in the bag.

Like I said, even if everyone in the world looked, it probably wouldn't be found. Especially if they split it up into pieces. I've already filed a police report and I'm seeing what I can recover from insurance, but early indications say not much. If, by chance, any of you stumble upon something that resembles the above, please PM me immediately. I'm hoping for a miracle here guys.
Also, mods if this is not the appropriate forum, please move.

And this is why I have insurance on my camera equipment. The price of insurance is a drop in the bucket compared to how much I'd lose if my camera gear was stolen.

I do too, but since it was stolen at school, not at home, we were told that the claim would not likely be approved since it didn't occur at my permanent residence. We're trying to fight it, hoping for a better outcome, but that's what we've been told so far. So as of now, I'm SOL.

Really? If my camera is stolen out of my car, it's covered. Car, home, wherever.

Sometimes you have to raise all kinds of heck with an insurance company to get them to pay out - no matter how legitimate the claim is...

That's too bad, man. Good luck and I hope you get them to cover it.
