Apart from the risk of theft, I worry about damaging or marking it in some way.
I'm notoriously hard on cameras :-) (I dropped one off a boat and smashed
a long telephoto by swinging it into a metal post while panning on a racing
car passing!)
It does get taken out and used though, old cameras benefit from regular
exercise, it keeps the shutters in good order.
As for value, the last Reid I saw sold went for 1250 pounds, say $2200.

The future was never like this!
That's one problem with the Reid, it's
getting too darn valuable to take
out and use!
Of what value is it if one can't use it? Of course, if you're
referring to the problem of someone stealing it, that's a horse of a
different color, and indeed an unfortunate problem.
