In Reservoir Dogs, Mr. Pink is doing the stealing. It seems like the tides have turned for Mr. Pink the guitar, because it looks like it has been stolen.
Last week when I came up to my room, I found that my beloved Strat was missing. I assumed that my parents just took it away as "punishment" so I could concentrate on my homework. What's weird is that my Jackson and my Squier were still there. So I asked my parents, and they said they had nothing to do with it. Then I figured I must have misplaced it. So I searched the whole house up and down. No corner or closet was left unchecked, and neither corner nor closet held captive my beloved guitar. I have never taken that guitar out of the house, let alone my room. I realized that it must have been stolen.
Here is where the weirdness starts: I had two guitars sitting out in my room on stands at the time, but only one was stolen. Also, not only was the guitar stolen, as the gigbag (which was either under my bed or in my closet, I don't remember) had wandered away as well. In addition, only the guitar and gigbag were stolen (or so we know so far), nothing else of value in our house.
The question is, who could do such a thing? I believe there to be three suspects:
1. The Cleaning Ladies
We have had the same two cleaning ladies for quite a long time. There have been no problems whatsoever. However, the past month or so, they have brought another woman along. This one is younger, looks a little suspicious, and has platinum teeth like some rappers. Yeah I know, don't just a book by its cover, but two weeks ago, my dad noticed some aluminum cans missing. Just aluminum cans for recycling, big deal, but what scared us was thinking about what else she would take. Why would she steal my guitar? I don't know, she could have thought that since there is so much other crap in my room, I wouldn't miss one measley guitar.
2. Friends or Neighbors
My friends know I have this guitar, but I don't know why they would steal it. A few people down the street from me play guitar, but I don't know how they would know I played. This isn't very likely, but it's sure possible.

The only reason I would even think of this is stemmed from the fact that I tried to sell my DKMGT a few weeks ago. This sparked some controversy, seeing as I won it in a contest here. Someone may have thought they could teach me a lesson on morals, hypocritical as it may be. There are quite a few people living in the Orange County/Los Angeles area. I hate to even think about this, but there is definitely a possibility.
Anyway, I am going to have a talk with the cleaning ladies next time they come. No accusations, just a talk with the woman in charge about it. If there's no luck there, I'm going to file a police report and check all the pawn shops myself in the Orange County/Long Beach area (I think the cleaning ladies live in Long Beach).
If any of you So Cal guys see this guitar in a pawn shop or guitar shop, could you drop me a line?
Thanks,
