deranger Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 you wanna know who stole the shit? Whoever told them it was safer leaving it in the Garrett Centre. "Yeah, leave it here over night, so my asshole friends can steal it when I leave the keys somewhere for them." Does this place not have security cameras? hello inside job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah, I have a hard time believing that it wasn't an inside job. I don't think that amateur opportunists would just happen to have the means to move that much gear if they just stumbled upon it. I've passed the list along to the few musicians I know from Winnipeg. Such a shitty deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Sanchez Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Good thing is that there are some pretty unique pieces there. some sweet gear for sure. I think they'll find it.super shitty, thats probably like 25k worth of stuff.It won't be easy for this piece to blend into obscurity. 1 each – Gibson ES335 Electric Guitar, Seafoam Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
