Stolen gear - PLEASE HELP!!! Last viewed: 6 minutes ago

Posts: 558 Threads: 60

My friends, I am hoping that you can help me. My drum storage locker was broken into and a lot of stuff was stolen. I have posted a list of gear that was stolen on my facebook page and I ask that you take a moment and look overr the list and the pictures and keep an eye out for my gear. Unfortunately, what was taken (that I know of so far) has already hit a staggering total of $18,000.00 in value and is mostly stuff that I could ever replace even if I did have the money. If you have a facebook account please share and if not, please just take a look and keep your eyes open. I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is the list but there are just too many pics to post here at the moment.

Shared on Facebook. Hope we can help locate your gear and get as much ( hopefully all ) back where it belongs.

I'm gonna keep my face buried in CL as well as other avenues. I take this personally. I know how I would feel if this were my gear, and I know how much of a love I have for drums.

Such a shame Matt. Really hoping that you can find both your gear and the thief.

Wow, that is a nasty break in. Very sorry to hear about it. Hopefully the police will be able to catch some of it. It's most likely to show up in pawn shops, but as close as you are to NYC, I would expect a good deal to migrate to streets in that direction.

Hate thieves the low lives need to be busted

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Matt,

I'm almost sick hearing this. I'm so sorry. I hate when bad things happen to good people. Hope this doesn't prevent you from setting up your booth at the CT Drum Show. It may not be a bad idea to spread your list to all the other vendors there. Keep us informed, and I hope all your stolen items are recovered.

Mike
