There was a similar story on this list some years ago about an 4Ti
falling off the back of a truck and bouncing down a gravel road.
Only this tough beast - praise be to titanium - didn't need a $700
rebuild, it was just dusted off and kept on clicking. 8-)

One of our company photographers gave himself a new Leica body for a
retirement present. About $2700 worth. He was photographing some coyotes and
after driving off heard a thump-thump sound as he hit about 60 miles per
hour. He immediately remembered he had left the new body sitting on the
trunk lid. After bouncing down the pavement it looked like a total loss but
he sent it to Leica for a repair assessment. For about $700 the camera was
brought back to like-new condition. He was very relieved and impressed with
what they did. /jim
