On the set before filming this live segment for ABC News, Bob Arno stole a wallet from one of the camera operators. The producers asked him to do it.
Bob snuck away with the wallet, brandishing it to the other nearby staff who’d gaped as the theft occurred. They were unaware of Bob’s topic—theft and scams—or at least of his skills.
Almost simultaneously, a uniformed security guard blasted into the studio—the scene of the crime—having witnessed the thief on his monitor.
“He was ready to throw your criminal butt out of our studio,” laughed host Susan Casper.
The wallet was presented to the cameraman on-air.
I am traveling to Italy this summer and found your website while researching travel tips. (I just bought your book for my kindle.) I have not seen anything regarding good camera bags. My current bag is smaller than a backpack and the strap goes across my body, but it does go on my back like a backpack. Do I need a different bag? I’m worried someone will just unzip the compartment and take my camera out. How do you carry your DSLR around?
Funny moment, and made for a terrific interview.
