Re: [Harp-L] Stolen Gear

[gnarlyheman@xxxxxxxxx]

An associate of mine once recommended that if I leave my guitar case in my car during a gig that I leave it open so anyone looking inside can see there is LESS to steal.
I agree with Ross: people who steal musician's gear are obviously cruel and insensitive in addition to being criminals.

I don't know about that either, Rick.

My wife's brother once visited us from out of town and left his dirty
old sneakers behind by accident.

My wife wrapped them up neatly to mail them to him (nicely labelled to
Dr. <His Name>) and left the package overnight in the car.

In the morning, the window was smashed and the box gone!  We had a
good laugh on the criminal, but could have done without the broken
glass.

Now I don't leave anything that looks even vaguely desirable in the
car - even if I don't care about the item itself.
