Fuck this shit. No band deserves this.

100k in equipment? Ouch.

This is awful, but this happens ALL the time. A 15 passenger van with a trailer and out of state plates is a beacon for crimnals. Shitty as it is, when will bands stop leaving cash/ laptops/ gear/ behind the single breakable lock of a ford. And in some seedy motel parking lot no less? Don't leave a hundred grand worth of tampons sitting in a trailer in a parking lot, some will steal it.

Damn!

I bet the people that stole the equipment don't even have a clue as to how much it's worth. They'll probably pawn it off for a few thousand.

Might also be time to monitor EBAY for any of their more unique items.

I hope you never get called for jury duty.

Still sucks horribly, but least they found the van. Hopefully some goods things come their way.

I'm glad they found the van, at least maybe then they will save a bit of the replacement costs. But this is unconscionable. Between these kinds of stories and others (ie. the fact people are illegally downloading copies of the Dear Jack documentary + EP, the nurses at my uncle's nursing home who stole his rosary beads), I just really have to shake my head in confusion at how many people find it in themselves to do shitty things like this. So sad.

I hope they had some sort of insurance.

what the hell is the world coming to?

Economy I guess; but then again people have always been stealing since the dawn of time.

At least they got their van back.
Wow, though, a hundred thousand dollars of gear is going to be pretty hard to replace, not to mention that some of it probably had sentimental value to them.

if i were them, my heart would have exploded
that's fucked up
only douche bags steal from bands

poor guys, I hate how this happens to great musicians such as themselves
