Huge loss: Stolen SB-2

Stolen 5/24/09 in Austin, TX with much more gear and possessions. Took a plane home with the clothes on my back.
this sucks, any help is appreciated.

1990/91 G&L SB-2 Bass Serial number B022197 2nd Gen V/V P/J
Black with Black Pick-guard and Maple Neck. P and Jazz style pickups. Two volume knobs and no pickup selector. sculpted headstock, no bump, leo fender signature on head stock with small notch in the middle. Also a small belt rash chip out of the back paint. Tweed colored Fender strap with 3 pins on it. One says "NO ICE IN MY DRINK." Strap held on with red Grolsch beer flip top O-rings.
Boss TU-2 Tuner Pedal with a rounded elastic band on it.
Cables, 3 sets of GHS Boomers Heavy.
Gator Brand ATA molded BPE plastic flight case with B3 in reflective stickers. Also has "Fragile" "VALKYRIE", "Bible of the Devil" "Vocalo.org" stickers. Case has name and address on label by the handle. One of the latches is loose and tricky to tighten.

This bass means a lot to me. REWARD for safe return.

Also sadly, more stuff:

Location was just across the highway up the hill and less than a block off 7th street on San Marcos right by the French Legation Museum wall. All the guitars, snare, cymbals, luggage, a bunch of merch, were stolen out of a car. They broke the window and cleaned us out. We will have a more complete list and all the serial numbers out hopefully soon but for now tell people to keep an eye out for:
-2004 Gibson Flying V electric guitar. Alpine white color w/ custom Gibson "Dirty Fingers" humbucker pickup in the bridge. Guitar has a faded yellowish hue and signs of wear on the top side. Has a black strap with a white lightning bolt on it and the strap is held in place by two rubber o-rings from Grolsch beer bottles.
-Boss TU-2 Chromatic Stompbox Tuner
-Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal
-Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal
-Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer Effects Pedal(analogman modified)
-SKB V-Type Hardshell Guitar Case. Large white stickers read "B1" near the headstock portion.

Faded Cherry Red Gibson Flying V with 2 EMG active pickups, crescent moon inlays on ebony fretboard, dark stain on the front where your arm would be caused by ink and years of playing.
SKB V-Type Hardshell Guitar Case
Pedals: Metal Muff, Boss TU-2 tuner, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor Pedal, Boss Chorus Pedal, Boss Super Distortion.

I think they are both guitars are '67 reissues and are in SKB ATA cases with B1 and B2 in reflective stickers on the cases.

Trick Percussion Snare Dark Blue with black hardware. Made from aluminum. In a black snare case that closes with a strap.
Molded Plastic Cymbal case containing a Ride, 2 large crashes, hi-hats

All were reported stolen to Austin PD.
 
Bump for a really good band in a totally sucky situation.

Hope something turns up and that the scumbags who ripped you off get what's coming to them. I love my SB-2 and would be devastated if it were stolen.

Best of luck (though I'm sorry it comes down to that).
