Bad things happen in life, and having one of your beloved cameras or lenses get Lost or Stolen, while not as traumatic as an injury, poor health, or some other personal loss, it is none the less a cause of misery. It happened to us a while back when a 'friend' offered to carry a camera set back to Austria to post it from there to Italy for a CLA in order to save the customs headaches. To make a long story short, he sent the package without tracking (the cheapest method) and it has never been seen since! 


Being a rather newbie to FB, and social media in general at that time, our friend Mario Casilli helped us by posting photos of the camera and lens to many FB Groups, including his own "Fotocamere MADE IN ITALY" page at FB. It is a great resource for those who love Italian cameras! So far, it has yet to have been reported by anyone, anywhere. We hope to recover it someday!


Rather than just putting up my own camera and lens here I have decided to offer this space for any other DUCATI Sogno owner who may have had a similar loss. Sorry, doing this for every camera model out there is too big of a project for me. Should you want to add anything Ducati here that has been lost or stolen just send us the information. It should include:


  1. A Police Report of some kind.
  2. Photos showing the serial numbers, if possible, and or:
  3. Serial Numbers or any other identifying markings.
  4. Last location seen. (Where it went missing) 


One exception I will make is for Mario's FB Group's members, they may report any Italian camera model here as a big Thank You for his past efforts to help. For our own camera and lenses, unfortunately we did not take any good new photos of it prior to sending it off for CLA, another mistake we won't make again!  The only photos we have are from the auction where we bought it, and there were only these:















Luckily the serial numbers ("04057" for the Teletor and the rather unique double SN "3950-5012"  on the camera and "02071" for the Vitor are all clearly visible. Should you ever see either of these, please contact us with the details! If it gets returned as a result of your help, we are happy to send you a gift from our collection, or some cash if you prefer!


And PLEASE, if you happen to be the new owner of it who purchased it in good faith not knowing it was stolen, we aren't looking to make trouble, we just want it back. In fact, we would be more than happy to help by paying back a good part of the cost of your purchase price. We live in Phuket and have no interest in dealing with police 1000's of miles away. THANK YOU :-)
