The bad thing is the possibility of other musicians doing it. A typical thief would more likely just grab the expensive looking items (personal experience, not as a thief). That's a lot of stuff to sell off--unless some out of town guys knew of it. But I have never found musicians to be thieves. At lot of things, but that was never something I encountered, but I'm sure a few are.

Oh we ran into a bad trip in Miami with another local band. One of their circle stole our drums, a guitar amp and a 24ch Peavey console.
One of us got a phone call one evening that they saw a local band using our mixer at The Hut, a little outdoor bar in Miami. We rounded ourselves up and walked in, stood in a close, tight circle around the guy running foh as he stood at the console. He was very quiet, he was very uncomfortable. The air was thick, unpleasant.
We got the board back.
Miami has always been that kind of place.

All of our rehearsals have been at someone in the band's house. I don't even know of a 'rehearsal space'. Plus we don't/didn't rehearse at VOLUME. Smallest amps, vocals w/o mics, 1/2 drum rig. Just loud enuff to hear ourselves.

Saw this elsewhere. Something to be mindful of.

Our bands studio was broken into near the Sunnyside area of Denver. A**holes made off with just about every thing from our 5 piece band. Fortunately we all have insurance and are going through the arduous process of claiming everything.

Beyond sux - we're somewhat lucky to have our rehearsal space below our guitarists home. And he has a big, loud dog. Windows have bars on them, and the door is solid-core & double locked. Even if someone broke into their home - they wouldn't have access to the lower floor. At gigs I watch our gear like a hawk.

Time to keep an eye on Craigs-list, eBay and Reverb - our drummer had a snare stollen and got it back when it was posted on cl.

NSRA Street Rod Nationals 2024 (Louisville last week)​

Not my vid. Long to watch all of it, but there are some cool cars. Great looking Javelin about an hour into it. I cheated and did a lot of skipping. I love vintage and muscle cars, but hot rods don't interest me all that much. But all are not hot rods.

I love some rods. Others are meh.
