StoneMtn Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi everyone,Brooke Miller and I were victims of a van break-in last night in Montreal. We were on our way home from a really great tour on Canada's east coast and decided to stop for an hour in Montreal and have some dinner. We were only a short distance from the vehicle and only for a short time, but it was evidently enough time for thieves to break into the van and steal many valuable things. Please keep an eye out for these items. The guitars that were stolen are custom instruments and difficult to pawn off, but they may show up on eBay or other online auction sites. We will offer a reward for the return of anything we've lost, no questions asked.Please forward this information to any online forums that may prove helpful. Thanks.Here's the list:*GUITAR: Michael Greenfield custom G2 steel-string acoustic guitar, serial number 093, belonging to Brooke Miller. Spruce top, rosewood back and sides. Lower case "g" on the headstock. Beveled armrest, no cutaway. K&K mic/pickup system installed (microphone visible in soundhole). Was in white Calton case with a small plaque inscribed: "Greenfield Guitars, Montreal, Canada. 514-499-1352."*GUITAR: Marc Beneteau custom long-scale steel-string acoustic guitar, serial number 130105, belonging to Don Ross. Spruce top, cocobolo back and sides. Upper case "B" on the headstock. Beveled armrest, no cutaway. K&K mic/pickup system installed (microphone visible in soundhole). Was in black soft gig bag with "Ring Music, Toronto" printed on the side.*COMPUTER: Apple Macintosh 15" PowerBook G4. Serial number W8548NESSWZ, belonging to Don Ross. Silver colour. 1.67 GHz model.*STAGE GEAR: Countryman E6 wireless headset microphone, beige colour. Sennheiser wireless transmitter & receiver units.*IPOD: Apple 20 GB iPod, while colour. Inscribed on back: "To Don & Brooke. Many years of happiness together." (or something close to that!).If you have information about these items, please contact Don Ross at gobyfish@mac.com or Brooke Miller at info@brookemiller.ca. Our voice mail is 416.520.0092. You can also contact the Montreal Police, Station 37 at 514.280.0637.Thanks, everyone!Don Rosshttp://www.DonRossOnline.comBrooke Millerhttp://www.BrookeMiller.ca_______________________________________________Gobyfishworld mailing listGobyfishworld@gobyfish.comhttp://www.gobyfish.com/mailman/listinfo/gobyfishworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayr Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Those will be tough to hock or sell, if they go on ebay hopefully someone catches it. Custom guitars don't have any book value. Unless they were stolen to be kept, I think they will eventually turn up.
