500'000$++ guitars stolen! [Italy]

i doubt that they'd be dumb enough to sell it on ebay

anyone who has the balls to pull off something this upscale is obviously not new to stealing, and probably has connections that can help him sell it or knows some other safe places for him to sell it (aka black markets)

i just can't see someone stealing all that and then selling on ebay

but besides that, this is sickening news, these types of people should get their nuts chopped off, brutally, not with anastetics, i believe that punishment would lower crime rates period imo

Your not that wrong. Italy still got a lotta mafia right now. Definately organized crime! Especially in the southern areas of Italy. And if some people think this is all old and over paying protection etc. then you`re living on the moon.

Maybe they remove the serials and after that it`s nearly impossible to find them.

Well if you remove the serial, it gets pretty obvious that it's stolen. But I guess you can find people who would buy even stolen gear if the price is right. And even if they sell all that gear at half the price it's actually worth, it's still a nice loot

hmm... those bad guys could have some contact, mafia-commandos won't appear on ebay or craiglist.

They have the buyers waiting in some other country!

Good eyes... looks like they were at least able to recover part of the collection, hopefully this will lead to the rest.
