In reply to Balram Rathod. I am not telling it happens only in India. Of course it can happen almost in any country. But I was surprised how it happened that night on the train.

Hi, sorry to note that your camera was stolen. All that I can say is that theft is something that happens everywhere, not only in India. And of course, India must be poor but it did have a rich heritage and past which attracted England here & you know what they did, I need not elaborate.

In reply to parul. I did the same with my bag too :D It was time to change my camera anyway. The biggest lost was my pictures taken during trip to Sri Lanka

Sorry to hear that. Even though I am from India it really surprises me. I had my smart phone stolen on a train too. i think i fell asleep for 15 minutes and it was gone. There was no way of knowing who took it.
Since then I cling to my bag like a monkey.

In reply to Ayngelina. Ayngelina, what insurance are you using? Because the travel insurance I had didn't cover any stolen items.

So sorry to hear this, if you are going to make a claim on insurance make sure you get a police report. As someone who has been robbed many times, I have always had to show one.

Not quite sure what sumit is talking about.

With regard to Travel Insurance – items are normally covered up to a certain amount, the most cost effective way to insure them is to extend your household policy to “all risks” this is what i have done with all my camera equipment

In reply to Sumit. Sumit, what propaganda you are talking about? I am just sharing my experience and it is not always the best. Btw in each country I visit I want to see real life but not just tourism highlights and I saw India as very poor country, so I am not surprised it did happen to me in India.
