Introducing the Centralized Stolen & Missing Equipment Registry

Introducing the Centralized Stolen & Missing Equipment Registry

Buying and selling camera equipment has changed dramatically. With gear constantly moving across platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, and local forums, tracking lost or stolen equipment has become nearly impossible until now. 

To help protect our community and promote safer buying and selling, we have launched the Centralized Stolen Equipment Registry.

One Global Hub across Our Entire Network

Whether you are browsing Pure Rangefinder, LeicaImages, 50mil, ZeissImages, NikonImages, or RealCapture.photo, all reported gear is shared in one unified central database. A serial number registered on one site is instantly searchable across all sister platforms across our network. 

Key Features:

• 100% Free for everyone: Free to search, free to list missing gear and free to use across our entire networ.
• Instant Serial Number Search: Verify gear before you buy to ensure you aren't purchasing stolen property. 
• Network-Wide Protection: Register missing cameras, lenses, or optical accessories to broadcast details across our entire multi site community.
• Anonymous Community Tips: Anyone can submit lead information or location updates anonymously on any listed item helping reunite owners with their gear without friction or safety concerns.
• Cross Platform Origin Tracking: Transparently see where reports originated while keeping communication seamless.
