in, Martin had taken photos of a building for a different client elsewhere in downtown.

Victim says he could have been followed

What they're saying:

 So potentially, I could have been followed, but I do believe that there's like a network, and they just smash windows all the time.

Martin spent part of Thursday scouring pawn shops in San Francisco and Oakland, with no luck.

He says he's learned an important lesson.

 I have to back them up in places that aren't together that somebody could take from me all at one time,  Martin said.

Oakland police are investigating but have not made any arrests.

The couple were able to get videos and still photos of their special day from friends. But they're hoping they get their professional photos back.

 Just return it, you know?  Wesenhagen-Banks said.  We're not going to hold a grudge or hate you or anything of the sort. Just be a good human being and just return it so we have these memories. 

What you can do:

Martin's family has started a GoFundMe to help restore his livelihood and is also offering a reward for information leading to the recovery of his gear.
