The following kit has been stolen from a renter using a peer to peer rental website.
We advise against using P2P sites. You might make a few pounds renting out your kit, but users are generally not properly vetted, and there is a serious risk you will lose everything, as happened below:
Name used: Jemima Morakinyo (Note: This may be a pseudonym, or the identity documents of an innocent person with that name may have been used.)
Police details and crime number: 0311096/18
The kit was hired out through a peer to peer rental site called motion tribe.
Users sign up with their ID and their information and then all insurance and payments are made through the company.
An enquiry was made for my kit which seemed legitimate. However, as all the details are through the company I was unable to verify personally. You have to trust the security procedures of the business.
When they came to pick up the kit they seemed to not fully know about the settings which seemed dodgy but the rental terms had already been agreed, and they had already paid the company for use of the camera.
Of course, once the hire was made the person stopped replying to email and text messages and the kit hasn’t been delivered back.
