Free Heads up: Pan Ocean Photo break in

[Craig F]

This from Pan Ocean Photo in Germany, posted originally in Wetpixels:

<<<The entire PanOceanPhoto team is still in a state of shock. Our warehouse was broken into at the weekend. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. However, a lot of goods were taken.
It can therefore be assumed that dubious offers for housings, optics, lights and strobes from the following brands will be posted on the relevant forums, groups, classified adverts etc. in the near future:

Nauticam | Weefine | AOI | Isotta | Keldan | Fantasea | Sea&Sea | Retra-UWT

We have recorded the serial numbers for all items. As soon as an authorised specialist dealer, a service centre or a manufacturer receives these goods, they are registered.

HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF?

Please let either us (+49 2501 +9292419) or any police station in Germany know immediately if you find any offers that appear suspicious:

• Relatively new goods are particularly cheap
• Seller obviously has no idea what he or she is selling
• Sales "for a friend or girlfriend"
• Offers that are to be processed very quickly
• Retailers who are not authorised specialist retailers of the brands mentioned offer the items in their shop with discounts and strike prices
• "Dealers" who offer unsolicited discounts in forums and groups and deliver from abroad.

We would be extremely grateful for any information that leads to the perpetrators being caught or the goods being recovered. We will certainly also be very generous.
