Long Story Short, I moved out of a house two weeks ago, I went back on friday to find that the following items had been stolen from my room.
Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Plain Black Gig Bag - Alpine White – Missing Scratchplate and Bottom Strap Lock
Epiphone Explorer In Stagg Acoustic Bass Gig Bag - Black with White Scratchplate – Missing string and humbucker surround.
Squire Stratocaster In Fender Gig Bag - Black Wit White Scratch plate – Various knocks.
Line 6 Spider II 30 Watt Modeling Amp - silver tape on the power lead.
Boss ME-50 - Obvious Beer Spillages
Sure SM58 Microphone - As New, only used 3 – 4 times.
Various Leads For All Of The Above
Also Stolen;
Guitar Hero 3 Guitar Controller – Stickers On The Front Kinda Patterned
Western Digital 320gb Portable External Hard Drive – White
Freecom 160gb External Hard Drive – Black With Leads
GHD Straighteners – The Older Model
1 Large Bottle Of Jagermeister
Now, Its obvious to me who it was, as there were only two people who knew where my guitars were, and I doubt my gf is likely to steal them. All the evidence in my head points to a certain person, yet the police believe him over me. If you lived with someone, who was in a band, knew where your guitars were, who you fell out with, and who then upped and left without telling you, why on earth does that not raise suspicion with someone? I mean, I knew he’d been into my room, and I knew he’d been into my wardrobe when I was checking it out on friday. Long story short, cats did their business on his clothes, I hid them to dry clean them, I get there friday, clothes are on floor having had said mess attempted to be wiped off. What burglar wipes cat shit off someone else’s clothes? Also, the alarm was on when I got there, only one person knew that code and that guy lived below me. When I got there, the alarm was on. Some time between Wednesday the 22nd October and whenever this guy moved out, someone stole my stuff. Whether it be him, or one of his mates. Most of the stuff in question couldn’t have been hauled out a window (one of the downstairs windows was left open) and there was no sign of forced entry around the house at all.
He’s Got The Means, He’s Got The Motive (is in arrears with the rental company, so owes them £550). If you see any of this stuff around please let me know so I can inform the police and send this guy to prison.
I’m glad this matter has gone to C.I.D now as the useless bobby’s who took my statement were just a bunch of clowns. As I said, if any of you are in PMT, Sound Control, Fair Deal or are looking on eBay/gumtree and see this stuff, please please please let me know. The total value of these items is around £1800 and are all special to me, however the The Strat, The Explorer and The Guitar Hero Controller are especially valuable, as they were my 16th, 18th and 21st birthday presents respectively and the Stratocaster was my first ever guitar.
Cheers all.
