Stolen Musical Instruments

A guy over at the Warmoth forums where I do a lot of my posting just put this up. Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this.

I'm really upset at the moment and need your help.

Never thought I would ever have to deal with something like this. But Sunday (07/18/2010) a climate controlled facility was broken into (21 units total) and I had some very expensive and sentimental gear stolen. I'm passing this along to everybody I know in the hopes that it may help.

This happened in Walker, Louisiana. Near Baton Rouge/Denham Springs area and Hammond, Louisiana. Please keep your eyes and ears open.

I'm sure I don't have to say which of these guitars is the most important to me.

Re: Stolen Musical Instruments

Stealing my custom made Mesa/Boogie Road King is a crime punishable by a long, slow, painful death.

Have your buddy register everything that was stolen here. He may have some success in getting them returned. He needs to file a police report to verify that they were stolen and lets hope he has insurance to at least recoup some of the value. Insurance on these is really not too expensive and its worth every penny when something like this happens.
People who steal guitars well/........ Suck!
 
Re: Stolen Musical Instruments

****... that's a lot of stuff... and good stuff too. I would become a permanently angry person if that happened to me.... Like permanently angry...

I'm talking:
- "Hi whats up man?"
- "SREW OFF JERKFACE!!!"

thanks! i'll pass that along. apparently the '57 LP was bought new by his dad in 1957. pretty sickening stuff. i don't live anywhere close to him or know him personally, but i've seen another topic like this on this forum and it seems like the SD community is good people. he's a pretty helpful and cool guy on the other forum, and i have no doubt that he's one of the last people that deserved something like this.
