Members soundcreation Posted September 26, 2011 Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 OK first of all you ruin your job over a 2K tele? When I read the first bit where it said "valuable fender" I'm thinking 50's or 60's. So it ends up being what? Probably a newer custom shop or maybe a 70's? What an idiot. I don't know what those guys get paid but even if it's low all you got to do is save well for a few months and you could buy that. Second of all you don't friggin TELL some other dude you are going to steal it. What a knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members magentaplacenta Posted September 26, 2011 Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 Am I the only one who thinks it's stupid to bury yourself with something worth $? Something that could be sold to help offset the cost of the funeral? Or something that could be sold and the $ given to family members? Or something that could be sold and donated to charity?

Members Wulver Posted September 26, 2011 Members Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well, as we've often heard, the music comes out better on a stolen guitar. Though this is indeed rather macabre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fretmonster Posted September 27, 2011 Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 As far as crimes go, this is one of the least offensive for the way I think. It's crimes against the living that bother me. Grave robbers have been around since the beginning of recorded history. Archeologists and other professional tomb raiders have no problem cracking tombs to look for valuable artifacts. That being said, it was an incredibly stupid thing to do under the circumstances.

I've also heard that gold teeth rarely make it past the enbalming stage. What a f^cked up world we live in... I've been in the back room when working for a funeral home. At a reputable shop, anything they want to go into the ground or oven with the deceased, does in fact go. But if the family wants to keep anything - down to grandpa's gold chompers - yep, there's a guy that will take them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomb and grave robbers were often put to death for the crime. Placing the tele in the coffin was a last act of love by the folks he left behind. Following his wish help them with closure. Not putting it in might have caused trouble in the family. At least he didn't want them to kill the dog and throw it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dcooper830 Posted September 27, 2011 Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yeah his wishes should be respected an' all but I think it's stupid and selfish to have a guitar buried with you. What a waste to have it silenced forever, rotting away with your corpse. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snowcow Posted September 27, 2011 Members Share Posted September 27, 2011 Guitars are made to be played. The dead dude wasn't playin' it: he's dead for {censored}'s sake. Good luck to the cemetery worker I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're taking a guy's side that steals something from a dead man's coffin that he loved so much? Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So because he's dead that means the guy who stole something from a coffin shouldn't get punished? That makes no sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
