For Clarity:

Steve Parish did not state he was uninsured. It seems that was a media comment to garner sympathy/support

Steve made the following statement on his FB page 3 hours ago:

"Just to clear a few things: I have never said it was uninsured and the $200k was an invention because I could not provide a number. OK yes I am a dick head for leaving the kit in the boot although have done so for 35 years because I have had stuff stolen from indoors right beside my bed. So there you go if a thief want's something you have then that's it! NIKON god bless them had a camera in my hands in 24 hours, thanks Nikon."
