Police are currently looking into the burglary, as there was another Boston-area break-in around the same time (in an unlikely coincidence, thieves also broke into and stole gear from EP Levine). Having camera gear stolen is a terrible feeling, and regardless of your insurance situation, it's still an uphill battle to get back to normal after something like this happens. When it's almost $600,000 worth of gear, it's another situation entirely. Here's a look at how the thieves got in, and the damage that was caused to the building:

LensProToGo Robbery

Thankfully, quite a bit of their gear was out on jobs during the robbery, and they posted this update just a day later on June 16th:

It is with great pride to say that we were able to fulfill all orders that were due to ship yesterday/this week as well as all new orders that have been placed. For those of you worried that this would break us, don't worry, we aren't going anywhere!

To comment on a few rumors:

There are a lot of people saying that we didn't have an alarm system. We ABSOLUTELY have a security system. For pretty obvious reasons, we aren't going to remark on the system itself and/or the location of these systems. Any information regarding these have been given to the officials running the case.

There are quite a few people saying it was an inside job and someone even had the audacity to say that a LPTG employee was arrested for the crime. These are INCREDIBLY untrue statements. The police are still looking into the entire situation but all LPTG employees are present for work today taking care of business as usual.

So you may be asking how you can help? Pretty easily, actually (If you yourself happen to find stolen property of yours on a site like eBay, here's what you can do):

Please take a look at this list and be wary of any used camera items for sale in the coming months. Always ask to see serial numbers before purchasing.

If you're able to provide any information as to the whereabouts of this gear please contact meg@lensprotogo.com
