Use a small cable and attach the camera to the chair. I don't think a 40 mm block will do much good I'd get a gun! LOL

Unless the gun is in full view, it would be useless. Securing the camera would be more effective. By the time the thief is running away with the camera, it's too late for a gun to do any good. Topduck1 would have to get the gun from wherever he has it. Then what? Would he start shooting at the man running away from him? Not very practical.

He could put a sign on his scooter, "I'm carrying a Smith & Wesson." Of course, then someone might try to steal that.

And shooting on the crowded River Walk. None of it is a good idea.

hello all
need advice on a good point and shoot for between 300 and 500 dollars, one of these is easier to lose to a grab and go thief.
i have had two nikon d7000 snatched from me along the river on the walkway. I'm in a power chair because of back injury, but like to cruise the river walk and take photos. so help in a good p and s preferably nikon or canon. the money i save from not buying a new dslr will go toward my new concealed 40mm block.
so now let the bast come and try to take this one

Well, I enjoy my Canon SX-50, with '50 zoom' capability, and many great features... but sure would hate to have it stolen. It fits the budget you mentioned.

Go to the top of the page in UHH and click on "Search" and then type in the space "SX50 Comments" and see numerous pictures and comments on that camera, or any other you may be interested in, type that camera's name.

A bit bigger, but will fit in jacket pocket- Canon G15 or G16
Bigger yet, but super zoom to 50X, Canon SX50

What the heck is THAT?

Once I was watching a tv program on car thieves. When asked about expesive car alarms, the thief said he preferred those cars, as he could get $500 for the alarm in addition to the car parts.
I hope that Block isn't worth much.
I'd just stop using the trail!
The first time, shame on you. The second time, shame on you. The third time.......? ;-)
