This case filled with lots of camera gear and camera were found in a stolen
car in Medford, Oregon. The Medford police would like to find the owner.
Pictures were from the camera.

Did they think to check the license plate or serial number of the car?

Funny, I read that a whole different way. They found a stolen car implying they know an owner missing a car. The camera case found inside did not belong to the car owner????? Reminiscent of the thief who lost his wallet in the 7-11 he robbed.

Do you think it could be entrapment for what else is in the camera?

Sounds like the car thief was into home burglaries as well, that's a nice camera and I would bet Leica could help if the owner registered his purchases.

Camera did not belong to the owner of the vehicle so who ever stole the car also stole the camera or left it behind when they ditched the car.

Did they check the Exif data in the images for a serial number or even a copyright name?

If the case doesn't belong to the car's registered owner, then perhaps it actually belongs to the thief who accidentally left it in the stolen car.

That looks like a Leica M Monochrom, with 6 Leica lenses. Could be upwards of $40,000 worth of camera gear in that case, depending on the lens selection. Wonder if there's a stack of Leica bodies in there?

I'm surprised there isn't a police report out on that stuff.

Sorry................. You cannot use logic to solve mysteries like this. The police have their own methods. I think they use TV actors from crime/detective programmes. They have a better clear-up rate.

Obviously the thief prefers using their cell phone and like many have no use for the complication and weight of a DSLR.
