I know this is a slim chance but I have just had my car broken into and my Leica bins stolen together with a metal detector and Berghaus coat :C

I am in the East Sussex area so if you hear of these items going cheap please let me know.

Many thanks

Ask a good friend to ask around "to buy one" - maybe the thief will emerge.

Do you have the serial number for these bins? If so it might be worth contacting local optics dealers and letting them know so they can keep an eye out for them. If you don't know it, it's possible the retailer who sold you them may be able to provide this to you.

The scumbags will probably have sold them to feed their crack/smack habit by now.

There are a pair of 10 x 50 Trinovids for sale on Ebay - probably completely unconnected but it might be worth keeping an eye open for your kit there?

I wish you lot would not call them scumbags. I find it offensive to slime moulds.

Indeed. A scumbag once offered me a 'hot' pair of mint £300 binoculars. He wanted £20 for them.

Bargain! Sorry, no.
What if they were stolen to feed an illicit birding habit?! Then where would we be?
Best of luck tracking them down.
