Topic: Gibson truck with some 30 historics and custom shop guitars stolen

well, this is not really a Joe topic... but maybe still worth to be made public as much as possible..
this really sucks ...

open up eyes when "ebaying"... 

found this on the LPF...
http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showt … p?t=135377


...Earlier this week, while at a brick & mortar event in the Chicago area,
the Custom Shop truck and trailer were stolen from an area hotel parking
lot. Yes, the COMPLETE rig. The trailer & truck were recovered yesterday
morning by police, both heavily damaged, and guitars stolen. The
attached list has the list of missing guitars. If somebody does spot one of
these instruments, please have them contact Gibson at 1-800-4GIBSON,
or call the Naperville, Illinois police department at (630) 420-6666.

Yeah, Pit, that is a shame. How those guys think they can sell that stuff and not get caught amazes me.

I was better, but I got over it...........

They may end up in a "chops" shop.

You're not fooling me with that old 'the cheque is in the mail' ploy.

Re: Gibson truck with some 30 historics and custom shop guitars stolen

Ocean's 11 sold the guitars to Richard Gere and Steven Segall...

Chuck Norris ate the semi for breakfast and what they found was excrement

Re: Gibson truck with some 30 historics and custom shop guitars stolen

JP's guitar is available Jaci but I'm afraid he's still hanging on to it. When I get him to let go I'll give it a good clean and send you a photo. In the meantime I'm gonna hide the truck under Steven Seagull's (oops, Segall's) shirt. smile
