I bought a new dji mavic 2 pro.. took it to the mountains it flew away, costing me a couple of grand. Sent my Nikon P900 to United Electronics Group in Elk Grove Village IL. gave them my credit card to do the repairs they quoted me. I think they closed their doors and went out of business with my camera, it’s gone. Our refrigerator went out, had to buy another one. Our Amtrak ticket was no good, train ran off track and would not be able to take me to Chicago. My rental basement flooded $$$. I too old for this kind of luck in one week!
Just looking for some sympathy!

Too bad. You've certainly have my sympathy. But hey, you're not alone...Adam had a bad week in the garden of Eden.

Actually, the suggestion from UHH member ‘rgrenader’ may be a lot better than you think. Am sincerely sorry for your losses and your terrible string of unfortunate luck, but the odds grew more in your favor with every catastrophe. Go buy one or two Power Ball tickets today.

That's way more than one year's run of tough times, let alone one week! You have my sympathy. Take heed. Life is always a cycle of hard and joyful events. Tough times don't last. Tough minded people do.

Wow. Sorry to hear. The good news is, as it is said.. "and it came, to pass". In months ahead, hopefully this week will be a good story to tell, albeit an expensive and stressful one to get through.

The lottery and Casino folks count on that mind set. And, they do very well, indeed.

Wow! If I didn't know better I would think your name is Joe Btfsplk! (Sorry, just showing my age!)

Bad weeks have a way of being offset by some good weeks following. Keep the faith!

We're on a similar, but not quite as expensive, roll. The best I can say is....Monday starts a new week!!!!

Regarding the business that closed their doors with your camera. Contact the federal bankruptcy court in the region and find out their bankruptcy docket. You may be able to get status as a preferred creditor and get your camera back.
