When Brandon wand his wife visited Iceland last week they suffered the misfortune of having their camera stolen. Not only was the camera and other camera equipment quite valuable (valued at more than 10,000 USD), the camera contained most of the photos the couple had taken during their European vacation.
During their last night in Iceland the couple had left the camera in a bag in their rental car, but had forgotten to lock the car. When they came out to the car the following morning they discovered the bag and other valuables had been stolen from the car. The couple reported the theft to the Police in Suðurnes district, which covers the Reykjanes peninsula and Keflavík Airport.
Fortunately the police was able to track down and arrest the burglar who handed over the camera and other valuables he stole that night. Brandon made a special return trip to Iceland just to recover the camera, posing in a photograph for the Police before he returned. The Police in Suðurnes shared the photograph on their Facebook page, using the opportunity to urge people to lock their cars:
The moral of the story is of course that you should always lock your car, especially during the holiday season when cars fill up with presents. Nobody wants to discover all their Christmas presents have been stolen.
