SS, I agree, I think this is a valuable service as long as you are not profiting from it directly, I will permit this....in fact, I think, if you will allow me, I may create a sticky and direct link for our members to verify gear that they are offered...please PM me to discuss.

I had a g4 powerbook and my brand new Nokia N73 phone stolen in a space of a week not long back. Certainly not happy days.

I am surprised at the amount of bands who lug around £$1000s worth of gear and are willing to leave it unattended at venues between load in, soundcheck, gig, after party. Yes, most people our there are trustworthy but there are always gonna be twats around with an keen eye for some good gear.

thx for the positive comments everyone.

robroy - yeah, the theft has always been going on - tons of ways to describe what I'm doing: shedding light on the situation, bringing it to the attention of the consumers...I don't care - as long as people know just how much theft is going on and how little is recovered (its almost like this random musician tax - random musicians get their gear ripped off...)


daddymack - I sent you pm, please check.

STOLEN FROM NATHIENAL CARROLL
Yamaha P-120 stage piano serial # UAKH01093 and
Seagull acoustic/electric guitar serial # 04393441

http://www.myspace.com/nathanielcarroll

Last week, someone broke my van window out and stole my gear. I am a solo performer from Springfield, MO, and play piano and guitar. I've toured the country several times over without any problems, only to have my piano and guitar stolen from my van in at my apartment!

Here are the specs:

Yamaha P-120 stage piano (silver body with cherry-wood finish on top...possibly "xoxo" in black electrical tape over the Yamaha logo on the front). The keyboard was in a black hardshell flight case made by Gator, with rolling wheels, four locks, and three carrying straps. The serial number for the Yamaha P-120 Stage Piano is UAKH01093

The guitar is an acoustic/electric "Seagull" brand (made in Canada) that has a bunch of tape on the bottom where the output jack is housed, a little bird drawn on the front body of the guitar, scratches and cracks all over the front, a brown leather strap taped and tied to it, and a stage pass sticker from a show I played at the Knitting Factory a few years ago on the bottom near the output jack. It has a TEAC brand soft/hard case that is khaki and black on the outside with one large pocket. The handle was completely ripped off the case, as it is still laying in my van. This case will only hold my guitar (or other Seagulls), so it will be fairly useless for other guitars. The serial number for the Seagull guitar is 04393441

Please help me find my stuff!
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of my stolen gear, I'll give you tons of free loot.

Thank you!
xoxo,
nathaniel

Please keep an eye open for this custom Gibson Les Paul. Thanks. Rock on.

STOLEN Gibson Les Paul mahogany pickguard, and white oak truss rod cover with his name "Dwight Johnson" engraved in it

Hey all, please keep an eye out for this Gibson Les Paul. It belongs to a customer of mine, and he is also a close, personal friend of mine. It is really one of a kind, with a mahogany pickguard, and white oak truss rod cover with his name "Dwight Johnson" engraved in it. It has 2 cream P90 pickups, has been refinished with semi-gloss light brown burst on top, and a flat brown stain on back. On the back of the body, you will notice a "D" routed into it about one inch in size. You can also notice the headstock was rebuilt. This guitar is obviously very personal to him, and is his baby. It was also in a brand new, black, aftermarket hardshell case w/plush interior. A reward will be offered. Thank you.

Yours truly,

Doron Markowitz

Thanks man. I'm doing this because someone ripped me off and I decided to do something to stop the crime - I'm not looking to make money off this (I put links on 'cause I support and use those companies/products - and to date I've earned $1.32! full disclosure! hell yes!)

But thanks for the idea and the support! Instead of a donation - if you could just spread the word, let people know that (1) if they got ripped off I'll help them for free (2) more people need to know about the site and check if its reported stolen before they buy used gear.

STOLEN Japanese TELE Custom Paint Job SKY WITH CLOUDS, Lindy Fralin pickups, maple neck, clear pickguard


My boyfriend had a Japanese Tele stolen in Norfolk, VA outside of the Lido Inn. It was his pride and joy! He had a custom paint job on it, which took months to come up with. It was a bright sky blue color, with white airbrushing that from far away looked like the sky with clouds on a clear day. It was absolutely beautiful! It had a clear pick guard, with custom Lindy Fralin pickups, maple colored neck. Since then, he has purchased some other guitars and had them custom painted, but nothing has satisfied him like the blue one did. There is a reward if anyone knows anything about this guitar. We reported it stolen to the police, and checked local pawn shops but we haven’t heard anything. It was in a black hard case and in the case were lots of personal mementos. There were pictures of his grandfather who has since passed away, pictures of me, pictures of his daughter, drawings that his daughter had made for him, and a few greeting cards that had been given to him over the years. Unfortunately, he has moved and lost the paperwork that had the serial number on it in the move. Please help!
**Have A Great Day!**

STOLEN 1963 Fender Tremoluxe cabinet, Black/silver speaker cloth - converted to two 12" speakers. This is a TAN cabinet that was dyed black.


!!!!!!!!!!!! MY AMP !!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone stole my amp and pedals right out of my trunk!
Rochester NY. Back in October

1963 Fender Tremoluxe cabinet, Black/silver speaker cloth - converted to two 12" speakers. This is a TAN cabinet that was dyed black. On the back, around the input, it said "the Profiles" in white, but a smart theif would have markered over that. The only other thing is that the converting job is just a couple of extra pieces of wood screwed in - it still has 10" holes. If you saw it, you'd get that it was modified by an amateur. - loads of yellow fiberglass insulation stuffed inside.

Amp - Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100
Nothing special or different - it was one of the early models where the channel switching was not smooth... otherwise, just the regular jcm2000.

pedals - RAT distortion and a TS9 tube screamer.(ouch) in a gym bag.

I would LOVE to have cought them in the middle of stealing this stuff!Trem
