Recovery of stolen cameras? (was Re: film cameras was Re: Blue screen ...)

Has anyone here ever managed to recover or heard of someone recovering one of their cameras after it had been stolen? I have a short list of stuff that was stolen better than 10-15 years ago along with the serial numbers (for the stuff that had one). I used to keep watch on eBay and such but I eventually gave up. I suspect this stuff is probably in a landfill by now, but who knows? Here is the list of stuff that went missing: Nikon FT2 S/N 5351198 Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens S/N 914472 Vivitar automatic fixed mount 200mm f3.5 telephoto lens Nikon Nikkormat hard case CH-6 Nikon EM S/N 6293371 Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series-E lens S/N 1353477 Nikon motor drive MD-E S/N 2009083 Nikon SB-E speedlight flash S/N 605396 Coastar 52mm 1A light pink optical filter I've also posted this list at: http://strudel.ignorelist (dot) com/~tothwolf/classiccmp/** stolen_nikon_camera_gear.txt
