What a terrible day...

Ok, I so my band is playing our last show, theres alot of people there, everythings going great right? oops we get shut down.....too loud and too many kids moshing. Ok so that's not SO bad, so the guitar player and me semi pissed off go to the drummers to sleep over and we prepacked the car with my bass(my beautiful carvin baby), his 2 guitars, and his mode 4 head and cab so we could leave early the next morning right away. Guess what? we get outside the next morning to the car AND EVERYTHING IS STOLEN! EVERYTHING. We filed a police report but that really doesn't mean anything because all they said is "we'll call you if anything shows up, and we also checked local pawnshops and nothing.....this day has been extremely hectic and stressful and now I am without a bass, just thought I would share.

I'm sorry man. It seems more and more people are having their gear stolen. These people are not musicians and have no soul, so I wouldn't worry too much. They'll get their come-uppance soon.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Was the car unlocked or did they break in?

Not that you guys did anything wrong but maybe this will prompt more people to never leave their gear in the car overnight, atleast things that are easily transportable like a guitar.

I hope you get your stuff back!

It's stories like this that cause me to bring my bass inside where ever I go. It also helps that I don't want it to stay in the 100+ degree heat in the car in Florida.

corrosivemind19 · #5 10-28-2006, 01:12 PM

No, it was locked, they broke in.

joebingo · #6 10-28-2006, 01:52 PM

wow man,

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it turns up again.

were your instruments insured?

spudmaster34 · #7 10-28-2006, 02:15 PM

ouch, have you posted in the stolen gear forum?

corrosivemind19 · #8 10-28-2006, 02:24 PM

no it wasn't insured but i think we have theft insurance and no i didnt post there, i will tho. Has this ever happened to anyone? It raelly feels like the 2nd worst thing that could happen to me next to like a family member dieing...blah

Ale · #9 10-28-2006, 02:53 PM

Sorry man , that really sucks.
But to have the gear in a car .. well its probably the worst place to keep gear in. Easy to get in , and the insurance wont pay it.

You mean a Mark Four head, right?

corrosivemind19 · #11 10-28-2006, 05:22 PM

no our guitar players mode 4 head.

My old band rented a practice space and about 2 weeks after we had been there, and our cars broken into every time, we showed up for practice and our practice space is wide open. We go in and look and all of our gear is still there, except for all the cables, mics and drum sticks; nothing else was stolen, no guitars, cabinets, heads, drums...etc. It was really weird and I was out 2 Shure SM58 mics and 2 20ft. Monster P500 mic cables. That was our last night there.

I'm sorry to hear your instruments were taken. I know it's little consolation, but so many of us on TB have lost irreplaceable, uninsured gear through theft. We share your loss because we know exactly how it feels. Feelings of revenge are natural, but try not to let anger consume all your time.

corrosivemind19 · #14 10-28-2006, 09:15 PM

Thanks guys.

Trevorus · #15 10-28-2006, 09:32 PM

Man, I hope you get it back!

I am glad that I have a truck with a tonneau cover made of fiberglass, because nobody can see what's inside without working REALLY hard to do it.

Even still, I always bring gear inside, because I know how easy it is to break into a car... It's a pain, but the hauling of gear gives me excercise, which I need, and keeps my stuff safer. Like I said, I hope it can be recovered.

Neb Maro · #16 10-28-2006, 09:48 PM

Man, I'm sorry your stuff got jacked. I can already feel a squeezing in my heart thinking about that. Or maybe it's a heart-attack. Seriously though, that reallly sucks. I hope that you can get everything back and then kick the thieves in the balls.

tplyons · #17 10-28-2006, 10:07 PM

Wow. A town away from where I spend most of my year, in Bethlehem. I'll keep an eye out.

Post pictures if possible.

corrosivemind19 · #18 10-28-2006, 11:51 PM

Thanks again, I'm going to call up guitar villa and all the near guitar centers to keep an eye out for it and local pawn shops....maybe that will do something?

? I really don't know. The part that really sucks, is that I have some gigs comming up and who knows what the hell I'm going to do.

matkeller · #19 10-29-2006, 06:47 PM

That really sucks. I hope you have another bass to play or one you can borrow from a buddy. Damn if we were in the same town I'd loan you one!

corrosivemind19 · #20 10-29-2006, 08:59 PM

I have like 600 laying around...maybe i'll grab a mexican made fender?

or look for something used, who knows.
