Sucks...I really hate thieves.

[Sharpienads]

That sucks big time.

I hope these dirtbags get caught.

I hate thieves as much as the next guy but in the back of my head I can't understand leaving a Cargo Van full of weapons and accessories outside a hotel for the night unattended.

Can't say I have a better idea other then spending the night in the van, but it just seems like a bad call to not have better protection.

Unless you have worked a show, it's not easy. Try humping all that stuff, by yourself in to a hotel room, THEN loading it back up.

silent paging alarm system... make sure your room is in range. problem solved.

now you could even have wireless motion-sensing cameras that would alert your phone... the logistics of ensuring they are connected is a bit of a pain, but if you want to throw some money at it, a 3G/4G hotspot device will do that anywhere you get cell service... or on the cheap, a wifi AP with a good directional antenna... take a little while to setup before you hit the sack, but I'd sleep better.

On big commercial photo shoots, we have far more gear than will fit in a single van. And every last piece of gear comes into the hotel rooms at night after what are typically multiple 20 hour days.
