I could be wrong though.Actually it appears that the whole band's gear was stolen, the entire drum kit, amps, basses, pedal boards and guitars. Including stuff that wasn't necessarily endorsed.

Including stuff that wasn't necessarily endorsed.Yeah, I read that. Not sure what their security was. I remember when my bands gear was all stolen from my apartment back in '86. We checked pawn shops for a couple weeks but never found anything. A couple of years ago I actually found a guitar on line that was pretty close to the one I had back then and bought it. I love those mid-80s ibanez guitars. Great necks and fretboards. Smooth like butter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 That sucks but why would anyone park such a trailer in way that someone could access it? Could it not have been parked with restricted access to the door (another vehicle or building as blocker)? With that much gear inside why would it not be attended at all times? Somebody dropped the ball on this one. That's a lot of gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) That's a tough break. Smart crooks, though. How long would it take to unload a trailer like that? And how could you do it so quietly? ETA: https://www.guitar.com/articles/be-lookout-tony-macalpines-stolen-gear Our friend Tony MacAlpine and his band had their entire trailer worth of band gear ripped off after a show in Austin, Texas, on June 11. The band is in the midst of a U.S. tour and has dates almost every night for the next two weeks, which they will now be forced to play on borrowed gear.

treeduck Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 http://bravewords.co...offer-donations A GoFundMe campaign.I know his gear got stolen but I'd feel pretty bad if I had to use equipment provided by a donation fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Man...I've played many gigs in Austin, but never had anything like that happen. To be fair, I had the benefit of living in Austin, so our gear was never stored in a hotel parking lot after a gig...it all went straight back to our homes.
