stolen guitars ands basses

Wow! I hope the father and son thief team end up being convicted and put behind bars for a good while. I would suspect they've been involved quite deeply in the higher end of thievery and fencing for some time, prior to the crime that they got caught in. It will be interesting to find out what trails they have have left behind in their dealings. I hope the owners they've stolen from are reunited with their instruments.
 
Remember they're not guilty till they're found guilty. So far they've only been charged. .... Courts and lawyers have a way of screwing up and burying these charges up all the time. ..... "I didn't know they were hot." ..... Then there is the side of these stories. The owner in Italy needed money sold them for less than their worth then said they were ripped off and collected the insurance $. .... With the present world financial mess that happens all the time. .... Vintage guitars are like rare art. And most $$ stolen art hangs on the wealthy's walls.
