Kevin Devine Robbed

[Katie Schmitz]

Kevin Devine's (http://www.kevindevine.net) car was broken into yesterday, and a bunch of his gear was stolen. Hello:
My name's Kevin Devine. I'm a musician from Brooklyn.

Two acoustic guitars were stolen from my car on N. 11th & Bedford in Williamsburg, Brooklyn between 1pm and 7pm yesterday (Wed, Jun 14th). I'm posting this hoping that someone might come across them being sold somewhere, and that that someone might let me know. It'd be much appreciated, and I'd try and figure some way to reward your kindness.

One is a Gibson J-185 acoustic/electric. It's a blonde lacquered finish with a cutaway and pearl inlays along the fretboard. It has a built-in EQ. It'll look pretty new - just got it storebought and new in December 2005. It was in a Gibson case with the 'Gibson' logo emblazoned on the front and a black sticker I got from a Green Line distortion pedal I bought at Main Drag Music in Williamsburg.

The other was a Martin DCX1E acoustic/electric. It's a darker blonde and unfinished wood, also built in EQ, also pretty new looking with some mild streaking (sweat stains) on the lower body. Got it new in March 2005. It was a simple black case with a bunch of stickers on it, including several large horizontal
ones that say "I Love Photography" on them.

If you have any information about these guitars, please reply. If you stole them, you're a dick.

Thanks,
Kevin

Fuckin fucks

[byebyebeautiful]

i know this sucks, but with major label support, i'm sure he'll be able to get some new equipment.

[Jamie Pham]

i got my acoustic stolen once, it sucked

[wiReZ]

That's a bummer. I've been a victim of theft from my car this year...it sucks! But, it could have been fixed if I would've taken out the faceplate of my deck. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything or justify the theft... but he could've taken his guitars out. I guess you just gotta learn the hard way. I know I did.

[theacademyis]

this really sucks

[abusedcat]

that sucks, i'd sell him some of my vintage guitars if he needs one bad.:)

Never leave anything in your car. 'Tis a rule!

Especially beautiful guitars like those.

[Coronary Parasite]

[armegeddon]

Thieves don't give a shit if you're a musician or not. They're not discriminatory. All in all, you shouldn't leave valuables inside of your car.

[TBSowns524]

This is a shame.

[CorporateFish]

That's crappy.

[rewindthistime]

If you stole them, you're a dick.
preeeetty much.

[unwritten]

Shit like this is way too common now. Thieving bastards.

[nerogtr]

i know this sucks, but with major label support, i'm sure he'll be able to get some new equipment.

yeah...new equipment thats recoupable against his record royalties. major label doesn't = major $$ for you. they just spend more money trying to sell the record (more or less). sux about his gear though, people are dicks.

people shouldn't steal shit. that makes everything a lot easier.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

[LilRyan732]

[Posed2Death]

hahaha, me too!!!

[wiReZ]

obviously, but you can't stop that. what you can do is not leave valuables inside of a car.

[theOCEANFLOOR]

williamsburg? weird. definitely was a hipster who did it.

[phunkspace]

Hold on, let me get this straight.

He left:
-A Gibson
-A Martin

in
-A Car

-Fucking Williamsburg

I'm sorry that he got jacked, but honestly...that's some common sense shit right there...

[formaldehyde]

shit that sucks :(

[Roadie]

Never leave anything in your car. 'Tis a rule!
I can second that. I stupidly left my sandals and both pairs of shoes I own in the car and got them jacked. There is nothing worse then telling your boss, I am not going to make it work. My shoes are stolen and I dont think they will let me in any store without shoes.

[wtfemokid]

that is bullshit!! he doesn't deserve that at all.

ok let's start a fund for k dev to buy him new guitars.

kthx.
