Tips/places to track down stolen camera and lens
Hi,
This is very odd as it’s my first Reddit post and I never tend to do this but I’m quite desperate and maybe delusional. My camera got stolen from a car on November 8, 2025. Since then, I have reported the crimeand given the crime reference number to my local cash converters and CEX. I have registered my camera and lens on stolencamerafinder and lenstag. Not as much anymore but I would track Facebook marketplace and Vinted and eBay. The police surprisingly managed to find the guy (who turned out to be homeless and was well known for crimes and would steal just about everything random even cards and blankets) so it makes me think he could’ve only sold it somewhere close by. I’m aware it’s been a couple months however given his proximity to where I live I was surprised I didn’t immediately find my camera the day he stole it. I didn’t expect the police would find him let alone sentence him. I live in Leeds if that helps and he committed his crimes in Leeds and Bradford. Is there any other thing I can do to try and find my camera it’s extremely valuable to me. A shed was found very close to me where he stored a bunch of stolen stuff but my camera wasn’t there (no surprise). If there’s a way to track down the last photo taken on it that would be helpful.
