Thread Starter | Perhaps you can help catch these crooks
I have no affilliation with Focusrite other than owning a couple of their products, but, whoever this happened to, this just makes me mad.  http://www.focusrite.com/stolen/index.html I know lots of fellow slutz watch ebay etc. Maybe some information will emerge to identify and put these crooks away. |

I bet even at the heavily reduced & "Just stole it from Focusrite" sale they cant get someone to buy those garbage products!!  Alright,Im sorry...IM KIDDING!!! (Just couldnt resist)  That REALLY sucks.Thats an awful lot of gear.I bet they get caught,having that much stock,someone will open their mouth thats involved & it wont take long before someone else squeals.Besides,where are you going to sell it,the word on this will be all over very fast,you cant put it on Ebay. I hope they find em & I bet they do. |

My money says it'll get offloaded to America and a fence will pay them pennies on the dollar for it. It's gonna be too hot to sell in the EU.

Taking a careful look at the list, it actually looks like most of it was the Digital option cards...Not a great deal of actual rack units... Apart from Compounders and Saffires that is 8 (RED Series) 17 (ISA Series) 13 (PLATINUM Series) And approx 135 Platinum Compounder/ Compressors. (Thats a lot of Compounders)....... I'll keep my eyes peeled on Ebay, and the Sound on Sound readers ads page... Looks like it was quite a large organisation, to have grabbed that much stock... |
