Nick Driftwood’s GH5 got stolen. And here is how you can help him to find it again

Nick just sent me that message:

I want to report that my GH5 was stolen along with an SLR Magic Anamorphot 35mm T2.4 lens during a workshop visit to Barcelona yesterday. I was taking footage around the Gothic area – Carrer d’en Monec (Map ref: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@41.3887062,2.1774242,3a,75y,316.24h,41.57t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6uKFZX5WCpO_rpheeReWbA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1) when I was tricked and let go of my guard. From under my nose in a mere second my camera was swiped and suspects ran off.
Serial number of Lumix GH5 is WG-PP001244. The SLR Magic had a white sticker on it saying the number SLRM355 I think though Im awaiting confirmation.
Please could you get a message out to readers of 43rumors to be wary. Especially that map reference in Barcelona!. There is a reward leading to the recovery of the Camera and SLR Magic lens.

I hope 43rumors readers can help him to find the camera again!

Longing – Anamorphic Scenes from Jurek Ugarow on Vimeo.

Jurek (video on top):Initially I wasn’t going to send you the link to this footage, as it started out simply as a test for finding a taking lens for use with the SLR Magic 2x Anamorphot. But in light of the recent GH5 spat and the constant harping on about pixels and features, bit-rates and bit depth, I realized as I filmed more footage, that in the end it’s about image quality and the ability to convey emotions. I was reminded again how blessed we are with the current state of audio and video technology, with tools that cover every possible budget and skill level. I know the GH5 will be a stellar camera for my purposes (and I hope to get one at release), but the venerable GH4 still has life left in it.
Filmed using a clean version of another venerable classic, the Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 lens. The SLR Magic Variable ND filter was also used outside.
