Members Terry Allan Hall Posted March 15, 2007 Author Members Posted March 15, 2007 That sucks BUT.... How did they just walk in and take it? It was a robbery or they just snuck out with it? HOw much is it worth:love: As I understand it, one guy distracted the salesman while the other guy snuck out w/ it...they were caught on video, but they were wearing dark glasses and it's hard to tell their features. Guitar is worth somewhere around $10K.
Members bigby Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 I once owned a 1968 Fender Precision bass...very nice guitar. Anyway, was driving around in my jeep, went through a stoplight turning left and the sucker flew out of the back seat and into the intersection. I was stopped on the median to jump out and get it and a car going through the intersection drove by, open the door and snagged the bass right in front of my eyes. It was a dark, dark day for me. Sad thing is, I guarentee the kids in the car had no idea of the value of the guitar and probably pawned it for 100 bucks.
Members rjoxyz Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 Be interesting to see if the person they sell it to tries to register the warranty.
Members SaltyDogg Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 Be interesting to see if the person they sell it to tries to register the warranty. Maybe they just want to play the best? PS I bet that salesman is feeling bad Normally, the stores I go to, their nice guitars are hard to access.. etc Now I know: never trust guys who wear sunglasses indoors!
Members learn'r Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 damb shame. I hope they get no pleasure from it.I can not even see how a theft of a guitar could give good music to them. I doubt if I see it down here in Ohio - but you never know. I'd snitch them out in a heartbeat.
Members denvertrakker Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 I can not even see how a theft of a guitar could give good music to them. I doubt they stole a $10K guitar to play. It was probably stolen "to order", and had a buyer before they ever whisked it out the door.

Members smatel Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 Nothing worse than a thief.... Well there are murderers and rapists... but who's counting?
Members bigby Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 Well there are murderers and rapists... but who's counting? That's true..and forgot politicians and lawyers. But often these are one in the same.

Members SaltyDogg Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 IT's not stealing unless there is a sign that says "you must pay for this before removing it from the store" :lol: I cannot wait for the day when lawyers have made everything come with warning labels:thu:
Members Tony Burns Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 Guitar thieves are like Horse thieves , when caught they should be immediately shot on the spot.

Members dirtyragamuffin Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 I bought my Martin D35 at that store and work in the Fox Valley music industry. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Well, maybe the thought of someone eventually finding this guitar and having an amazingly lot of fun with it is of some comfort. Maybe some youngster bought it from the pawn shop and now is marvelling about it.
Members Hudman Posted March 15, 2007 Members Posted March 15, 2007 I think Hudman stole it for fire kinling... No way, I burn those dried out Larrivees.

Members Dave W. Posted March 16, 2007 Members Posted March 16, 2007 ...they were caught on video, but they were wearing dark glasses and it's hard to tell their features. Sounds like Jake and Elwood, their address is 1060 West Addison, Chicago. poor time for a joke, but couldn't help it. Seriously, that sucks.
