it's not often that shit just works

Sorry about the trauma of losing your kit.

I have bought quite a few cameras from Canon Refurbished site (I never transcended to SLR/mirrorless). Occasionally, there will be extra discounts to sweeten the deal.

Also, there might be a very slim chance that your trip insurance or homeowner/renter policy might help ease the sting of your loss.
