ALERT! Please read.

We cannot do this for everyone and this is an exception... but we WILL pay a reward for the arrest and conviction of the thieves and the safe return of #00006 and the rest of the system. This camera is truly special.

Please read Jim's advice carefully: "Posting information on REDUSER is NOT a good idea for several reasons, including your own safety. Please do NOT post any information you have obtained. Any post we see on REDUSER regarding information on this case will be deleted."

A crazy world we live in.
Like everyone else, I'm glad to hear that no one was hurt.
It's a bump in the road but I think Off Hollywood is about to have an amazing year.

Mark, I'm sorry for the experience you and your family have had to endure. I'm glad everyone is safe and I hope you enjoy the rest of your new year.

On finding the stolen good: What if REDCINE included a "call home" feature which read the R3D data and check it against the stolen camera database and can log the IP of a computer which is handling the stolen camera's footage. Or if firmware is updated the firmware includes a list of stolen cameras that can brick a camera that's registered as stolen. Apologies if I'm repeating other ideas, but I think all of us would be okay with having a software feature that helped the community.

Again, this is assuming the thief knows what they have.

Something has to be done to stop the use of the camera if stolen...but tracking the use of it via GPS location and getting the people who have it has my vote...putting them in jail, priceless...

not the news i expected to read this afternoon.

just sad really, no other words can express.

all we can rely on is the common decency

of fellow man.

This so reminds me of the story of the Mona Lisa.

This so reminds me of the story of the Mona Lisa.

and hopefully not the theft of the Duchess of Devonshire.

I suppose this is testament to how much some think Epic can mimic film? Thinking they won't be found out if they grade it to match and add a little grain..? Stupid plan for professional use anyway... They can't use it with a crew, and they sure can't sell it, at least not in the open. Maybe to some deviant collector? Maybe a guy with lots of money actually asked for it to be stolen, so he could record their baby's footsteps in 5k HDR?

Some people.. I am sorry to hear this Mark, Jim, everyone at Red.

Wishing you a happy new year, especially to Mark, I'll drink one for you tonight. Hope you get #007 soon, and if I get to rent a replacement 006 along 007 you betcha it will make me feel every bit as proud.

[Elsie N]

... that should find out what actually happened, who stole it, why,... and bring 006 back to Mark!!!

Where it again becomes the stuff that dreams are made of.

[Sam Eilertsen]

Thieves always make me sick. My heart goes out to you, Mark. I hope #6 comes home safe!

I can't imagine that there was any kind of espionage involved, or even that the criminals had any idea what they were stealing! They will probably be scared witless when they hear about the reward.

This reminds me of when the Red One prototype was stolen, hopefully this is returned too.
