'fess up. Anyone here ever stolen a guitar?

[Northstar]

To make things clear, I never stole a guitar (and never had a guitar stolen from me).

[Yogi_Sizzle]

I guess technically I did. A buddy of mine once got kicked out of his dorm and came to live in my basement for about a month. He left a bunch of his stuff including a Cheap Starcaster. It had been sitting at my house for about years. We were cleaning out the basement and called him to come get his stuff. He got his golf clubs and a bunch of his clothes, but left the guitar behind. He wasn't much of a player anyway so I figured he really didn't want it so I hacked it for parts and turned it into a relic strat project.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

We had a case where a tool thief was ducted tape and beaten badly about his body with pipes and boards, driven outside the city and left in misery in a corn field.

I laughed so hard.

Stealing is dishonest and despicable. I am neither of those things, therefore I would never steal.

Thinking about either buying some unique vinyls for the back of my guitars, or engraving my name inside the electronics compartment. Y/N?

[cephus]

orly?

Please explain how the other involved parties are criminal?

[Flogger59]

i have not. but i did lend a guitar to someone i thought was a friend, who promptly hawked it for coke.

Yup, happened to me,too. A 1978 The Paul. Gawddam 80's.

One time this guy left a 70's tele thinline at my house for about 9 months . .. it was hard
not to take it. he came and got it eventually though.

he hates guitar thief's

[guitarman3001]

nope, never stolen any gear but a few years back I did get robbed by some faggot looking emo punk. About 6 or 7 years ago I went to sam ash and picked up a nice MIA strat. As I was getting to my car, someone says "hey", I turn around and I see this guy who looked like the love child of a threesome between george michael, boy george, and that gay dude from last year's American Idol. Dressed all in black and pink and holding a Hello Kitty guitar. Next thing I know, he knocks me upside the head with the hello kitty guitar, grabs my strat, jumps into a purple VW bug that was being driven by an even gayer looking guy who I can only assume was his boyfriend, and takes off.

Anyway, so help me if I ever find out who it was and I get my hands on that poofter.

You can start by searching for registered purple vw bugs in your area.

Receipt of stolen property (knowingly purchasing stolen goods)...dunno about your state but that's a criminal offense here in PA.

[volvo1800]

No, but I got a 1961 National Studio 66 from a friend of mine in exchange for a pizza. I still feel kind of bad about that.

if you still feel bad I can take it off your hands . .

[DaveGrima]

I used to know this rich asshole who was always bragging about how expensive all his guitars were. So one night while he was in the Bahamas or something I broke in and stole a few. I took a {censored} on his couch before I left and went and gave the guitars to some homeless people to jam on.

[Kellanium]

Hell no. Though i did get a steal of a deal on my schecter.

[SDshirtman]

Hmm. I posted a reply in here last night and now its gone.

??!!

I'm ok with that. Morally, I know it's 100% clean. The rightful owner blessed the transaction. If anything, I would be an accessory to his insurance fraud.

Do you have a moral issue with the transaction, or are you an ex hall monitor from grammar school? I don't give two {censored}s about the legality of any of these infractions in this thread. I have a moral problem with them, though.

I merely responded to your simple but incorrect statement that the shop owner was the only person committing a criminal act. For someone that doesn't give two {censored}s, that response is a lot of {censored}s.

[jelloman]

I have never stolen a guitar...BUT I have had 2 stolen from me...

So, I guess "hall monitor" then.

Although the Robin Hoodian concept is one to be admired in theory, as one who has had a guitar stolen from them, I still see you as a {censored}ing thief plain and simple and you deserve to be beaten or in prison being raped as someone's bitch.

[k4df4l]

So, I guess "hall monitor" then.

 

even more {censored}s?

 

I thought you were cool with it?

[ChrisGansz]

he hates guitar thief's

And loves Snausages!

[King Loudness]

I borrowed an old Ibanez once and haven't given it back, however, I did pay the owner after about a year of negotiations on price, dunno if that counts.

[trollin']

I had to steal one of my friend's guitars back for him...no {censored}

 

One of the guys we were cool with at the time just kinda walked out of his house with it & said "Don't worry, I'll bring it back" Well, this guy has a habit of stealing things from other's houses and hawking the items for meth. Two hours later, I'm climbing through methhead's window to get the guitar back.

[airwarrior]

Is this a true story? I'm so sorry...I'm laughing so hard right now! I hope it's not true and you can just create a great story! Adam Lambert hit you on the head with a Hello Kitty guitar and then took off in a purple VW bug???? Damn...I'm sorry. I can't stop laughing!

He's making fun of some other guy earlier inthe thread who claimed (jokingly, I assume) to have stolen a guitar by bashing some dude over the head with a Squier.

[Dougie.Douglas]

Haha. Well played
