Now that I have you attention. At my school, our Geddy Lee bass was stolen (For the record, when I find out who did it, I plan on beating them senseless). There are five people at my school who know the combination to the guitar locker. The first jazz band bassist noticed first, then told me. We subsequently went searching for it, to no avail. However, we did run into two others who know the combination. Either they're telling the truth about not taking it or they are fantastic liars.
There is one more guitarist, however. Every had assumed him from the beginning. He dodged texts about the bass and skipped class so no one in the music department could question him. Later, a teacher caught up to him. He claimed that he hadn't seen it, though clearly knew what it was. I ask him later and he claims to not know the school even had one, despite my playing it before and numerous class discussions about it (and my distaste for it, I know, it's blasphemy!). Kinda odd that he's mixing up stories. How would you handle the situation?

The teacher says if no one fesses up, she's going to campus security, but even then, the other bassist and I are the only ones who would recognize it as the bass that was taken so we would still have to be involved. Campus security at my school will NOT actually put forth effort into this kind of thing as the music program is well aware and has experience, and the police or anything similar probably won't go after a bass that's only worth $800 at best.
