STOLEN CAMERA, ST PAUL MN - BIG CASH REWARD

We just had a camera and tripod stolen from a shoot in St Paul, MN. A maroon SUV (Chevy Tahoe?) drove up to our crew, grabbed the camera and tripod, and sped off. No license plates. $4000 CASH reward if anyone can track it down and deliver it to us, or provide info that leads to its recovery. No questions asked. No joke. The Sony EX1 camera has Kyle Decker's name and number written clearly on the bottom.

Just ask yourself how easy is it to sell a $6000 camera.....

Craigslist? Probably not.

Ebay? Maybe

Pawn Shop? Unlikely

Who the fuck is going to steal this thing?

That would be very easy, at least where i'm from. Even if they only get 500 bucks, that's still 500 bucks.

I really hope you are either an alias or joking...

I was personally there when this went down. Earlier that evening I even moved that camera for the fear of someone coming in and taking it, which later happened. Decker walked away and not even with in 30 seconds the SUV rolled in and grabbed the camera. Later we talked with a bus driver who was on break there and she told us that the SUV had been parked across the street for sometime so these guys where clearly planning this out. As for rich? yeah no.

i agree,
thread this and bump if its not on the fontpage.

and thats so shitty. stealing stuff may be great when you think, man i just got a camera for free. but man its the WORST thing that can happen to the owner. Stealing so low and is so selfish. fuck the guy who did it.

good luck finding it.

Thanks for all the continued interest in this one- unfortunately we still haven't gotten the camera back, and though we've been diligent on keeping tabs on Craigslist and Ebay, no luck with anything there either.

I also really appreciate all the offers up support and donations, and while it means a lot to all of us at Level 1 to hear of so much generosity out there, if you're looking to donate money, there are many, many more worthy places to put it. We've got food on the table which is more then some folks can say, so if you've got $5 to spare and want to do something good with it, donate it to a local homeless shelter, buy some canned goods for a food drive, or drop it off with the Santa on the corner ringing the bell and looking for cash for the Salvation Army.

If you want to do something more ski-industry related, hit up Rileypoor.com where you can make a donation to Riley's fund, or ShanemcConkey.org where you can make a donation to support Shane's family.

And if you want to support Level 1 directly, just check out Eye Trip on iTunes or pick up a DVD from level1productions.com

And I'm jacking the reward up to $5k if someone can find that camera, or the people that stole it...

youre a good man, Josh Berman.

i honestly hope that if anybody were to come across this camera they would give it back to you guys free, but i understand that the whole "no questions asked" thing with a reward is really hoping just for the original people to give the camera back.

good luck, hope you have the shots from some other angles, and that you get the camera back.

btw, this will make a really interesting interview/intro about the MN trip....

What did you have with it? Any other accessories? They probably stripped it and sold that stuff separately, but you never know.

Kindness, yes, missing the point, even more so! Josh B just said not to worry about them, and that they will get by, and that he would rather have the money donated to charity, and then this guy says that if he had 6k he would spend it on a camera for them. That constitutes a textbook example of missing the point.

Such a good post. Inspired me to go drop a little bit of Christmas cheer in the McConkey family fund.
Thanks for that, and I sincerely hope you get your camera back.
