People using my amp in a shared rehearsal place

Hey!
First I took out the fuse, but the crazy guy who used my amp put a short screw into the fuseholder :mad:
After that I replaced the xlr connector of the cabinet by a speakon socket knowing the guy won`t /can`t buy a speakon speaker cable-and took it with me after the rehearsal.
Meanwhile we`ve got a practice room on our own-and the equipment standing there is insured-that let`s me sleep much better!
regards michael

Wow, if I found out that someone did that to my amp I would go ballistic.
 
I had this problem once. My band shared a garage with our drummers brothers other band, and because my cab/head was heavy and I had no car I just left it there. After resetting my eq a dozen times I started removing the fuse. They would just replace it and use my amp anyway. So I took my head unit to my uncle who is a certified electrician and he installed a big inline glass fuse on the power cord. When I left I took the inline fuse with me. It worked good. Except that apparently the other bands bassist got a little spiteful about it and stole all my knobs and cords.

Again, a justification for an ass-kicking.
