Clearly, there is an epidemic of thefts these days. While the inventory mentioned below is not RED, this group may be of some assistance.
This is current, as we lost a 900R just 3 weeks ago.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Production Equipment Rental Group <http://www.Swiftpage6.com/SpeClicks.aspx?X=2Y0UHOW1HZVSWL2O01YFWY> (formerly PERA) is concerned about a spate of recent thefts involving high-end camera equipment. We wish to share information to all camera rental houses in order to help prevent additional thefts and to gather further information that could assist the authorities in apprehending the perpetrators.

In the past couple weeks well over a million dollars of camera equipment has been stolen in multiple cities. Several of the thefts were committed by the same two individuals. They committed thefts on two different continents within days of one another. Meanwhile other thefts, or attempts, with the identical MO, were made by other individuals. Reports of individuals fitting the MO have come from California, Chicago, Maryland, Florida, Texas, New York, Israel, and Croatia. The theft in Israel involved forged passports. Evidence suggests the crimes are being perpetrated by a sophisticated, organized ring.

The common thread in many of the incidents was that the individuals are from the U.K., posing as employees of a real U.K. production company. They had professional knowledge of production equipment. Chris Cardno, of Visual Edge Productions, LLC writes:

"The thieves KNOW what they're doing and they KNOW rental procedures. They'll get insurance. They'll give you a credit card. They'll offer to make a wire transfer. They'll argue the rental rate. They'll ask all the right questions. AND THEN THEY'LL STEAL THE GEAR."

In several different cases the rental order was virtually the same:
Stolen from:
Sony HDW-F900R Camcorder SN#10024 Chicago
Sony HDW-F900R Camcorder SN#10036 Chicago
Sony HDW-F900R Camcorder SN#10114 Israel
Sony HDW-F900R Camcorder SN#10235 Washington, DC
Sony HDW-F900R Camcorder SN#10225 Washington, DC

The same bill of material has been taken from multiple rental houses around the world by an organized crime ring. They are using the names Kevin Lear and/or William Stickland who are real people (not associated with the theft) from a United Kingdom production company: The Filming Co Ltd.

Hi,

Stolen this week in Paris (France) area:

Canon EOS 500D serial #2250716100 + EF-S 18-55mm.

Thanks.

[John Marchant]

Sad to say we're now adding ourselves to the list of stolen equipment.

Red One MX no 7289,
18-50 zoom
50-150 zoom
Duclos 11-16

and a whole bunch more gear from other brands totalling £80-90k taken by one guy from our offices in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon. He tried to defeat the CCTV, but we have reasonable shots of his face, attire and vehicle. Interestingly he left behind consumer TVs, DVD / bluray gear and consumer camcorders, but took every last drop of Red gear - seems likely he knew what he was after.

I'll post images, serial numbers etc. shortly.
