Sorry to hear your gear was stolen that blows! I have to tell you I have never seen a metal shutter peeled back like that ever. did anyone in the area hear anything? That must have been one hell of a racket

Just our room, it's an industrial unit in an industrial estate, very targeted came with the tools for the job, no one else touched even the studio (which is advertised as a studio) 2 doors down was untouched.

Only been in the room 3 weeks, moved out of my other one of 6 years as I was worried about security.

I'd be very suspicious of the owner of the unit or anyone else who knew it was there.

I'd be very suspicious of the owner of the unit or anyone else who knew it was there.

...Or anyone who's seen you load in, or anyone who knows you practice there, or anyone who's heard you practice, etc. etc. etc.



That's also why if I have gear at home and move it to the car I cover it with a blanket.

 

[B-string]

You didn't leave an unpaid bill behind? If you did the previous space owner may be suspect?

 

[David Jayne]

Oh man. Kill them with fire.

 

[B-string]

Oh man. Kill them with fire.

Too quick.

 

[KrisHayes]

So sorry to hear man. Best of luck.

 

[Baird6869]

Some if not all will turn up, dude.

That Matamp gear will be impossible to sell hot!

Best of luck!

 

[georgestrings]

Ugh. There's nothin' I hate more than a thief. Hope you get some leads, man.

This - best of luck, OP...

Terribly sorry to read of your gear being stolen. Years ago I had my bass, amp, and cabinet stolen. I will never forget how stunned and angry I was when I discovered it was gone!

 

[Marginal Tom]

If you haven't already done so, check with the building owner to see if they have any security camera footage of the thieves.

 

[Calaverasgrande]

that blows.

I've been robbed several times (once on my 30th birthday!)
Remember, it's just stuff. At least they didn't steal your life.

I've known a couple people that were murdered by stupid junkie scum over petty crap like a boombox.
Possessions like amps etc are just tools, it is annoying to lose them, but you will get more tools. Who knows, maybe you will end up with a better amp, though I can't imagine what that would be.

 

[JimmyM]

Bastards. Sorry to hear, bro.

 

[TaySte_2000]

If you haven't already done so, check with the building owner to see if they have any security camera footage of the thieves.

It's been checked, nothing near where they got in an too dark as well to see on any footage in the area.

 

[Downunderwonder]

Unlikely anything will surface in NZ although we have 240V too. If it does I'll remember, with predjudice.

 

[BassmanPaul]

Tay, I feel your pain brother. In my time I've lost three basses. One in Widnes: Hofner Violin, and two down the road from you in Liverpool: Gibson EB0F and EB2. The last two were at least insured so I could recover.

I hope you get your stuff back. They were obviously well prepared and might well have a place to dispose of what is fairly unique equipment. Good luck.

 

[HolmeBass]

Notify pawn shops near and far, work with the police, stay with it. You may recover some of the gear. I got my jazz bass back after it was stolen, it took seven months of working with the police- pretty much goading them into continuing to look. It paid off.

Got a bit of an update for people

I hope you can continue to recover everything, and get this thief and any other possible thieves involved brought to justice!

 

[Jim C]

Sorry to her this and good luck
Seems like it must be someone that knows you or at least your gear
Definitely not a pro as the studio was untouched
Think about where it might be fenced and keep looking over the long term as I've seen hot gear sit for ages and then show up for sale.
