Never Leave a Backpack Under a Bridge
Aug 26, 2013 08:13:59 #
Traveled to the Woodlands, Texas to experiment with DOF and composition. I set my camera backpack on sidewalk for a point of interest. There was a group of party boats behind me and across the water. I picked up my tripod and wandered north to set up for them. It was a Monday morning and there was no one else there. I figured the backpack would be safe.
The Woodlands security had a different take on my activities. Two guards, with radios, descended on my activities like bees on honey. After a look at my drivers license and pack content, all was well. I thanked them for there due diligence.

Yikes, have to agree with cosmo54, it's a sad sign of the times that we have to keep things like that in mind now and not leave packs even for a moment, even when we think we are safe from thieves. I wonder if I would have thought of that in the same situation... Glad it all turned out alright. Looks like you handled it quite well. :thumbup:

Signs saying, "Report unattended packages" go back decades, and for good reason.

Imagine if you took your rice cooker for a picnic? Wow, you got lucky!

Yep.
I remember when I was in France in 1994 we were riding the subway when a passenger got off leaving his trash in a bag in a seat. Others went to get on that car looked at the bag and backed back out. A moment later a subway employee came on to check the contents of the bag before the train moved again (we told him what happened). Bummer that it's the way things are now. :(

I find it hard to believe that all the hogs responding to date agree on this topic or any topic. Amazing. After reading posts for a few months, I sometimes doubt we can agree that sin and rattlesnakes are undesirable. This is not a bad thing; it is just another example of the freedom of expression we enjoy in our nation. :lol: :lol:

Good thing you didn't have a pressure cooker in it or you would have been writing this post. :lol:
