Even if they are caught, the penalties are almost non-existant. If you have any leads, I will put you in touch with my friend who is a private detective in the NYC area, retired veteran NYPD Gold-Shield. Buddy Cage That sucks, I hope that had some good insurance on all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted March 13, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2006 I saw that. The only good thing is they didn't get any guitars... but those amps. Bummer. Let's hope they get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 Man, that sucks double-time. Derek really loved those blackface Super Reverbs. He happens to be on the cover of the latest Guitar Player, and talks specifically about those amps. People who steal musical gear should be drawn and quartered, or terrad and feathered and run out of town on a rail, or something like that. Jerks! They took the entire band's trailer, it seems, and despite what you may perceive, a guy like Trucks doesn't make huge rock star money. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted March 13, 2006 Members Share Posted March 13, 2006 BTW, I forwarded this to the folks at Guitar Player, who had not been made aware, and may be able to help. Thanks for posting it, Wewus. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Raymar Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Reminds me of a talk show I saw a few years back featuring the manager of the Sex Pistols. He used to own a record store and they would come in and he was intrigued by their wierd look and went to watch them rehearse. When he got there he noticed they couldn't play for {censored} but they had alot of great amps, then he later noticed the words "David Bowie" painted on the side of some of them.

Members bp Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 A friend of mine sold Derek one of those Super Reverbs just about 4 months ago. I talked with him last night and he has another he's offering to Derek to use while the tour is on. Let's hope they find the scum bags who did this soon.

Members Tele-vania65000 Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Does anyone know the story of how this happened? I've seen this thread on several sites, but no story about how this much high quality gear got horked. Was the entire trailer snatched or just the contents, etc.?

Members bp Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 The whole trailer from what I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted March 15, 2006 Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 It seems they ("they" being the rat bastards who did it) ball-hitched the whole trailer and took off. Death penalty for gear thieves! Are you with me boys?!?!?!?!?! - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheWewus Posted March 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2006 I just wonder what kind of security they had on that trailer. There's a hitch lock, and there's these locks you can put on the tires that makes them deflate if you don't take them off before you drive, and then G told me about an electronic lock on the trailer brakes. Wonder if they had any of that, and if they did, how was it disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are a experienced and well-travelled man and know how difficult it is to watch everything 24/7 and to ensure everything is done correctly. In any case, the theft simply blows.
