Original article:

The Camera Store, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, suffered an early Saturday-morning burglary resulting in $35,000 in stolen hardgoods, according to the CBC. Stolen were a Leica MP Safari Edition camera, a Hasselblad X1D camera body in silver, and three Hasselblad lenses, the report said, adding the fact only those items were taken, may mean the thieves were particularly knowledgeable.

Store owner Julian Ferreira told CBC News this was the first burglary in the store’s 21-year history. The store is offering a $5,000 shopping spree as a reward for information leading up to a conviction.
