Re: [Harp-L] Stolen Gear



A friend of mine had his bespoke guitar amp stolen from a bar in a few months ago, he'd finished playing and was outside having a ciggie and someone just walked out with it, so it was really brazen. There's a special place in hell reserved for people who steal from musicians.

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.

now, this is good advice - even though you arrive home late at night tired
from the gig, it makes sense to push your envelope and carry that stuff in
the house.



I've never parked my gear in a car overnight since then.

Brian, sorry to hear of this. Rob's suggestions sound very good.

In 1979, I lost a modified Fender Super Reverb, a killer amp by any
standard,
when it was stolen from a parked van in the driveway of a bandmate in
Sagamore,
Massachusetts. In other words, very similar circumstances. I've never
parked
my gear in a car overnight since then.
