(And it's easy enough to check immediately after the write). Imagine the camera and the iPod being in the same bag which disappears on the flight home. :_| I see that police (in, I think, Canada) have advised people with iPods to dump the distinctive white Sony headphones, because there have been a lot of muggings of people effectively wearing a sign saying" I have an expensive IPod, pull your knife and take it off me". A bit like cellphones: about 710,000 stolen in street crimes in 2001 in England, 25% in London. 1500 or so street crimes in London in January this year in which only the cellphone is taken, another 2400 in which the cellphone and other things.

Nevertheless, I have travelled a lot with a massive bag of camera gear and it never left my sight. Wasn't ever a problem. Kept my passport and tickets in the bag, too. (although once, I was in a place where they had run out of toilet paper and I kept that in my camera bag and left the lenses in the suitcase in my room, value is all about supply and demand) robo.	robo (205)

There was one problem I though about having CDs or Emailing home and that is you have to find a place with a computer! All very well going to a cyber cafe in the middle of Europe but what about in the middle of Asia or South America??	MattyJ (4128)
