[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 474981, member: 12855"] So mate's camera stuff got jacked (but recovered luckily) and he made GoFundMe thing to recover the losses. Yes, it blows losing that chunk of cash in a flash, but why would people just give you money to buy your toys back? Life's short and hard like a body-building elf, and like you lock your house and car, you just don't let your toy bag out of sight unless you can secure it for sure. I've missed a couple parties because they wouldn't let me in w/ my pack and I had nowhere to secure my gear despite knowing 2-3 venues around the same block. I could've stashed it easily, but without supervision and that didn't seem like a great idea. Heck, even when I'm working, I per lack of secure spot carry my shit on me, even to the bathroom. Now, if the said mate's hobby contributed to ANYTHING at all, I wouldn't be as irritated, but birds and trees simply don't. I cover events, do promotional images for local artists to help their businesses. My work matters to the livelihood of other fellow artists. Can always rent bare minimum, do some work, and recover that way. I've dropped my 600 before, it busted, so I did some work and got it repaired. What donations? [/QUOTE]
