How to get my stolen camera back?

[koen4162]

Last Monday April 14th, my Sea & Sea 750G digital compact camera (picture attached) was stolen in Lisbon just before I flew back to Belgium. I reported it to the airport police but chances are very slim that they will find it back.
I still have the underwater housing.

I am open to any good suggestion on how to increase chances to get it back, as there are not so many Sea & Sea camera's around. I do have the serial #

Thanks in advance

Hate to say it...unless the police bust somebody dealing in stolen merchandise, your camera is as good as gone...

Check auction sites like E-Bay and see if you find a listing in Europe.

Even if you track it down to an ebay site, you'll be dealing with cops from overseas who really won't want to get involved. And even if you did get them interested, your handler of stolen goods will tell them that they bought it from another ebay site, or at a car boot sale or something.

Sorry to say this, but you've got no chance of ever getting it back.

Insurance claim time I reckon,

I agree, any insurance ?

My Canon G7 was stolen and I also made a police report. They were honest and told me I would never see the camera again. I'm glad I have insurance. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what a drag it is to have your stuff stolen.
