  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

ALERT! Please read.

It's such a shame...

All the hard working people are the one always getting ripped off...


Sad, really.
 
Being robbed the first time made me incredibly angry for ages after. Try and let it go as soon as possible - the emotion and the stress is too damaging to yourself. Hold on to the fact no one was hurt.

While we can all do all we can, and hope it is recovered and the culprits caught and punished, it's healthier to just let it go in your own minds. And don't beat yourself up about whether any of it was your fault either! It wasn't.

I feel violated. Angry. Shocked. There is a part of me that feels like I let RED and the community down.

I feel with you, break-ins happened twice in my office with lots of stuff gone. It hurts deep down.

You have not let anyone down, Mark. Whatever the reason for this theft was, there was no way it could have been anticipated, expected or avoided.

As for the corporate job theory : I doubt that a professional contract thief would risk human lives and break in while everybody is at home.

despite the shock, please have a good new year´s eve with your family!

Mark, don't let this crime ruins your winter vacation and New Year's Eve.

I'm glad that You and Your family are safe.
 
these guys are right. as long as you take care of the people you love, you haven't let anybody down. we're fully in support of you, we're with you.

many of us here have been through similar circumstances, possibly worse.

you can spend the rest of your life trying to relive the past. its over, and thank god. the anger, the confusion, the disappointment, the heartache, the guilt. you're going to have to let it go. watch your perspective closely... it's everything. we're behind you 100%.
 
Mark, so very sorry to hear you and your family were in danger. Hopefully someone will muster the means to hire a proficient tracker.

I remember, years ago, our car got broken into on Sardinia, all our books and stuff stolen ... one might say that's nothing but in the end we really had to move elsewhere to put the anger and fear behind us in order to be able to enjoy the rest of our stay.

Be safe, be good
 
I hope they catch the scumbags who did this. I'm glad to hear you and your family is okay (under the circumstances) Mark. Everyone - keep alert and hopefully we can show them how powerful the fellowship of the redusers is!
 
When the British government loses something in the Alps, they send in 007.

If Elvis has left the building, perhaps it's time to send in Bond. :coolgleamA:

What do you think, Jim?

Mark ... I think you would be hard pressed to find someone here who thinks you let anyone down.

Try your best to shake it off, and never forget what's most important.
 
Sory about this crazy story Mark. Sorry to read, your family and you were in danger.
I met you in Vegas with Ted during the RED User's Day.
I'm a French, based in Lyon with is not so far from Megeve. If you need something i'll send you my mobile phone number by MP.
I also send a message to all Red user's and filmaker comunity i know. If they heard about a "strange camera for sale"
 
These fkn morons stole the rarest gem. What were they thinking, resale?

On the other hand it's probably being dissected as we speak.

I hope these sons of a bitches are brought to justice and punished to the fullest extent!

I am still in shock. There was a forced entry through the front door.

The thieves actually entered the master bedroom while my in-laws were sleeping, and standing a foot from their bed - empties wallet and purse. There were 6 children and 8 adults sleeping in the house.

What a nightmare...
Thanks God you're all safe. As others suggested try to let it go.

I had my camera stolen in the middle of shooting my first feature movie while I was sleeping...
Had to buy a new one and finish the movie. Very sad.

You never let the community down Mark ! We're all 100% behind you.
Take care and try to move on. We are all happy that you and your loved ones are unharmed.
 
i'm really really sorry. especially for the scare.

as far as theories go, i don't know, i don't believe too much in coincidences
 
Oh boy, it´s spreading faster than wildfire on the Internet.

Those morons will have a hard time selling it, unless they have no clue what they have and one can buy a pretty cheap EPIC on a flea market somewhere in Europe soon.

Me ain't ether, but that would need a beefy conspiracy theory.

Mark, I am terribly glad that you and your family have been unharmed!

As for this act of cowardice... what is left to be said?

Somebody clearly wants the inside scoop on red tech... every time red is about to release a camera somebody steals one. Very suspicious...
 
Wow, that's just too bad :/

I've been robbed before, also in days that were supposed to be the best of my life (my 18yr birthday just after I left Paul McCartney concert!)... We always feel invaded and just impotent...

I'm in Europe right now, was in Nantes past week and now I'm in Germany... I'm going to lots of camera shops and rent houses! I also have a great contact with some French filmmarkers ... Will try to spread the news...

Jim, there aren't any ways to block only this camera or track it in the next firmware realeases? I'm pretty sure that who stole it knows by now what he have in hands... There was the time when this scums sold stuff for nothing... But nowadays it's pretty easy to find things on the internet... And if they knows, they'll probably not sell it that soon... But will not keep forever...

I just hope everything works out, and I'll keep my eyes wide open for it, also spreading the history to my friends around here... And thanks god your family is ok... I've been in front of a gun, and I know that it's something you don't forget that easily :(

Best wishes and hopefully you'll be able to enjoy the rest of your holidays Mark! Remember you have the most important by your side: Your family ;)
 
Gutted, I recently had my panasonic gh1 stolen with some lenses from my home. That was awful (I also had family and children in the house).

Now I know a gh1 is no EPIC ! but i had just spent all my spare cash on it.

Damn theives, very glad to hear nobody was hurt.

Hope you and your family are not too shacken.

Wish you a better new year..
 
Mark, most important all of you are safe. I am sure Red will replace another for you. Don't let this spoil the rest of your holiday. Lim
 
I feel for you, Mark. I have had my home broken into, and while the items they stole were bad enough, the damage to the idea of what is "home" is far worse.

Home is a place where you and your family can get away from the world, relax, and "live". Even if you aren't in your "house", this concept of home is something really important that is carried with us, no matter if it is a house, trailer, or hotel. A space that is different and safe from the world that you can call your own.

When someone breaks into your home, that concept is violated. Can you truly be at "home" if you feel like you are being watched or having to prepare for unexpected "guests"?

Like all things, it will pass with time, but I am so sorry for you and your family...especially your children. It just goes to show you how terrible thieves are: you work as hard as you do, holding the most coveted camera in the world, and it only takes one night and some terrible people to take that away. I so sorry, bud!
