GOOD GOD! That's terrible! How could something like that happen? Best of luck getting all of them back.

[George Necola]

just to clarify:D I dont own them, nor did I:) I just read it on another board and posted it here;)

[Tibbon]

Christ. I hope those people get caught. That's just too many hot guitars to NOT get caught.

That's like robbing a bank of guitars! I'm GUESSING that a job like that... that someone paid the guy(s) to steal them for a single buyer that wanted them.

[3rdeyeKnight]

Sick, sad world sometimes man. I just dont know how thieves could live with that on their conscious. It's like what goes around, comes around. There's no way you can live your life in peace after you've pulled off some bogus stunt like that! Justice will be served one way or another. Believe that! I had to get that off my chest. I feel for the owner(s). Peace.

[chandlersonic]

That list is like a list of all the best guitars ever made. I hope they find these guys.

[Vandergraf]

Bad Karma!

[jazzy655]

looks like ebay is going to have a sudden abundance of high sought after axes

[lordmiguel]

that's so bad it looks like an inside job.........

or the italian job (fun flick)

[amorris]

jeez, how long would it take to get that many instruments out of somewhere?


inside job!!!!!

[JustAboutReal]

That's insane... good luck with the recovery

I hope they were insured

[Sirocco]

if anyone gets any updates on it, keep us posted....

[George Necola]

if anyone gets any updates on it, keep us posted....

wanna buy some?

hm.. I dont have any updates myself till now. will inform you, if there is something going on.

what do you think should I leave this thread sticked?

cheers

[Sirocco]

well i would keep it stickied so if we buy something on ebay we can check the numbers just to see if we can give any leads if they match -- you know some of them have to end up on their -- no?

[Acoustic Cloud]

maN,

That seems like more than 500,000 bux worth!!!

[xiangyang]

i like play er hu
