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. Please pass it along to anybody who can 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.

This is another pic which shows the ding on the lower horn. Other than a chip on the back of the neck, the guitar is perfect other than normal aging.

Sorry to hear it and I hope you get it back... I suggest to go to police and make a formal report.... Would help if you get the serial number of the guitars...

Hope the burglars get their balls set on fire...
 
Oh man. Just...oh man. So not cool. I know you're going to get a million of these "dude, that sucks" posts, but this really, genuinely does suck. So sorry for your loss. We humans are a hateful breed sometimes..

I agree with 'Nando about the whole burning thing though.
 
Dunno how many pawn shops you have, but you should print those off and talk to each place, also keep an eye on your local Craigslist

Depending on how sophisticated the thieves are, they might try to move the stuff in a different city.  For the LP Jr I'd contact Vintage Guitar - they run stolen gear sections and it sometimes actually gets results.

Do you have serial numbers for the gear?
 
I'm sick for you!

You should post the Les Paul's on the Les Paul discussion page especially the Special along with serial numbers.

I'll try to spread this to TDPRI.

the kramer forums, and the seymour duncan forums are really helpful with this sort of stuff as well. i've seen threads like this on both. jemsite is a great one, too.

really hope you get your stuff back. thieves are the worst kind of people.
 
man that is shitty...

Like real shitty...


Can't beleive the fuckers made off with all that stuff, its not exactly light or easy to carry. The place must be like a glass shed with it all on display. Ebay might be a place to look if they are retarded. sure other guitars that are the same might appear, but it could be worth asking all the sellers for the serial numbers and see if that turns anything up.

Take it the place didnt have security cams or anything that can actually help...

Damn those bastard theives. Cut their hands off and go back to ancient times. but with van halen and electricity.  :laughing7:

They have video of the guys, had their faces covered. The place has security codes for the gates, but that don't help when you take the fence down from the next door parking lot.
