pickfish- we totally know and understand the security risks now after the fact. But previous visits to hawaii were always so pleasant I guess we were a little nieve I suppose. But even after that experience we still pretty much do every thing the same way. Both my wife and I are very heavily in to photography and while driving around we keep most of the equipment in the back seat for quick exchanges, leaving the rest in the trunk. Since it was the first time we experienced this it was kind of a shock. Actually we felt worse about the pictures we lost on film and digital which could not be replaced. We're not rich but knew our insurance would cover the equipment. While driving around hawaii and every corner a picture opportunity it would have been a real drag to keep every thing in the trunk. On the flip side we have so many pictures now that I would not feel the need to bring all my arsenal, just a couple of digitals, may be one film, 3 tripods, 6 to 8 lenses, video recorder, and what ever my wife wanted to bring
Summary: it sucks when ever you get burglarized, but if it's possible, it some how sucks a little less when it happens in hawaii
Regards
