Let me start by saying I know there were things we could have done better to protect our property but my heart breaks all the same still. My husband is about to get laid off so before he started the big job search we wanted to go to Disneyland with our three year old twins - the whole trip was to cost less than $300 including gas/hotel since we have APs.
We had a great 2 days in the park but were leaving a very busy Main Street Wed night 2/27 at closing time. My son wanted popcorn and all the stands were closed so my husband ran into the gift shop while I stood with the kids in their 2 strollers. All we know is one minute our camera bag was strapped on one stroller and the next minute it was gone It unfortunately had our camcorder and digital camera in it so we lost everything . We went to lost and found hoping just maybe somebody bumped it off and then turned it in but it was stolen unfortunately It was wrapped several times around the strollers handles so I think as I was attending to my daughter or son they could have even taken a knife to the strap I wish I would have been wearing a backpack with the camera in it or my husband carrying it may have helped but someone that determined would probably have gotten it one way or another - apparantly there were a lot of people of lost and found saying they had missing cameras too - I was too depressed to ask if they just dropped them or what occurred.
I don't mean to be a downer but I just wanted to warn everyone so it doesn't happen to them - not only did we lose our only cameras but all our precious momentos of our beautiful kids and their fun time to Disneyland -mostly I just hope to go back someday and still feel the magic and not always think of the theft . Thanks for listening to my rant - hope everyone has much better luck than us!!!
