Members ATOMICDOG1 Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Ya'll... I haven't been on the board for a while but I thought that this would be a good place to post a stolen gear alert. A few weeks ago my truck was broken into and my Crest HP-8 32 channel console was stolen. The truck was located in the St. Cloud, Minnesota area. I was on the road at the time so I'm not sure of the exact date of the theft. The truck was parked in my apartment complex lot and no one saw or heard anything... even though the theives took the time to pull out the 12' ramp that was mounted under the truck and hacksawed thru the brackets to steal it too. The console was in an anvil style aluminum clad road case with the words "GW ALL STARS" stenciled in black on the top and "Sidekick Sound" stenciled on the side in white. The case is quite old and beat up, the console is in excellent shape. I have the serial number and the police report has been filed. If anyone runs across the console, please contact me thru the personal message system. Mike the Soundman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillESC Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Boy, that sucks. I'll keep an eye out for it here in the east. Have you checked eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ATOMICDOG1 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi Bill, yeah I've been checking out Ebay and Craigs list every couple of days. Unfortunately I've been on the road a lot lately so I can't check every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dogoth Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Was there other equipment in the truck that didn't get stolen? If it was in an old beat up road case, I'd think your garden veriety thief would take newer shinier looking things. Maybe it's someone who knew what was in the case and it's value. Just a thought. Yes that does suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bugzie Posted May 16, 2009 Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 that board will stick out if they bring it out. Not a run of the mill cheapo. I'll keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ATOMICDOG1 Posted May 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2009 Thanks guys! At the time of the theft, there were only a couple of things in the truck besides the console. It was where I had been keeping my fix-it pile, so there were a bunch of cables in a pile and some spare part mic stands that weren't touched and a DBX 1231 eq that had a super scratched up face and broken sliders that was also stolen. I figure that it had to be some of our local meth heads or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoadRanger Posted May 17, 2009 Members Share Posted May 17, 2009 I try to keep all of my "stuff" under 50 lbs each but I suppose there is advantage to having 200 lb FOH mixer.rack combos as they would be a bitch to steal . My biggest problem with my rig is when loading in or out by myself it would be easy for someone to do a "grab and run" . I'm surprised that they would have stolen something that big !

Members dedmeet Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 Call the police and arrange for assistance *before* you go meet the folks, otherwise you could wind up in a very bad way. Let the cops do the cop work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jwlussow Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 Mine was some older Peavey SP cabs and a brand new, used for the first time the night before Warwick Dolphin 6 string bass. That one hurt. There were a lot of lessons learned and one I should pass along. Your gear is covered on homeowners insurance if it is purely used for hobby purposes. If you get paid, even a dollar, homeowners insurance will not cover the loss since that falls under business use. My insurance guy was cool and explained what to do but I added the business use rider after that loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chickentown Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 State Farm Insurance just stopped insuring my gear (inland marine). Apparently they are getting out of that business - at least in MN. It kinda feels like a violation to pay into something for so long, make no claims, and then get disco'd, but I understand why they're doing it. If the price matches up, I'll give my two homeowners and auto policies to someone else who will cover my gear. I'm sure State Farm calculated some migration due to the change, but my local agent will probably be sad to see us go. Oh, and I'm really thirsty for some tales of justice at the end of this thread - theft just makes me crazy mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
