it's easy to get lulled into a sense of complacency up here in the north woods..even tho I do get out of town quite a bit my home has always been my safe haven. I hate feeling paranoid and violated but these are different times and I should move past my denial of that..
thanks for the myspace post Nino...my dialup chokes out wicked bad on those media-rich sites.

It was pawned for $75. Still had the strap attached, and the batteries were still ok after about 18 months. A bunch of dings and scratches, but surprisingly intact given my expectations. The pawner's story was that she bought it at a yard sale for $45...hmmm...we'll see...

It's a story, folks.. I wouldn't have never believed it possible, quite frankly.
loend68 saved the day, big-time.
Details are still unfolding as we speak.
Thanks to all that have cared to follow this.

According to the Boston store mgr it's their policy to release a stolen instrument only to the police, and not directly to the victim. Mass SP won't go get it so I'm hog-tied till someone up here takes action.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Maine | | | After much posturing and dancing about I finally have my Spector home. This brings a lot of closure to this ordeal. A DNA sample was obtained from the original scene, so ultimately the idiot will surface.
As noted above, loend played a pivotal role in making this bass a
"former statistic". ME SP stayed on task beyond the call as well.
I am grateful to all here that have offered support; public and otherwise.
I'll reinforce what others say:
*Take detailed pix
*Record serial numbers
*Make note of unique/custom features
*Mark instruments in inconspicuous places
*Insure
*Craigslist WORKS!
And a Special note:
***Retain records of all correspondence with shops/etc that you have sent notices to in the event that you do have instruments stolen, and they turn up at one of those shops.. My story thickens considerably here but I'll leave it at that..
