perogato Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 If you live in or around Bradford, please read and check if you see any of the items mentioned in the link pass by or recognize being offerd for sale: http://www.krossbreed.be/gearlist.htm I am not a member of Krossbreed, but play in another (well, THE other ) band of one of their guitar players. If you can help out, much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sorry to hear about this. It must be the worst thing that can happen to a musician losing their fav gear especially guitar / bass which are sometimes irreplaceable. That looks like some really good quality gear too. How / where did it happen. I'm guessing you didn't leave your gear in an unattended trailer for any length of time. Really sorry and hope it turns up and the gits involved jailed for a very long time. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sad to hear this. Hope you get it all back. Some seriously nice (and hopefully easy to spot) gear there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettsguitars Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 That's a lot of gear! At least they liked the cd!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perogato Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Apparently they did break the first rule: never leave your gear unattented. But then again: would you expect that they would steal the whole trailer, with everything in it? What are the chance that those low lives like metal? Maybe desperate fans? I have seen a few cases of stolen instruments and the most sad thing about it is (apart from the fact that you have lost your fav gear) that those thieves almost never can appreciate the value and/or quality of the gear.

pete.young Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Some of that gear is pretty rare and recognisable. I take it they've done the usual things with contacting Cash Converters and all the local music shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think they'll struggle to move on a lot of that stuff without raising some eyebrows. Good luck with finding it.

This was a chance opportunity by low life scum who would sell their own granny for a buck. Still doesn't help and i'm really sorry for whats happened. You are right they won't appreciate the gear and what its sentimental value is. They simply don't care. Hope the gear is all located and we see a happy ending. Insured by any chance ?

dmccombe7 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Hindsight is always a wonderful thing but with gear that expensive and rare it should have been insured. I know it doesn't bring back the sentimental value but it helps replace useable gear in the short term. Did the guys manage to complete the tour or did they have to call it a day. ? PS mine aint insured either at moment but after reading this thread and feeling bad for the guys it will be when gigging starts again end of the month hopefully. If nothing else it will open peoples eyes to a growing number of gear thefts across the UK Definately a lesson for me to learn. Good luck with the search. All the best Dave Edited February 7, 2012 by dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismuzz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Man, that really sucks and I've never heard of so much gear with such high value all going missing at once Really cool of whoever it was to lend them the gear they needed to finish their tour though! Goes to show there are some good eggs out there after all I really hope everything is recovered in the same condition it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Ah, it's been posted here as well. Good to see this has been spread far & wide!!! My condolences to the guys, but taking that amount of kit out on the road with you [i]uninsured[/i]?!?! Mental... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perogato Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I guess it is a lesson learned: 1) insure your gear; 2) never use a small trailer, even it is locked and secured to the car; 3) never leave your gear alone. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just like to point out I did around 20 gigs in Bradford last year and in some fairly dodgy pubs and never had my car touched. 2 weeks living in genteel Dorset and some lowlife has keyed it. A band I'm auditioning for in Dorset next week had all their gear stolen from a van outside the guys house late last year. and Bradford's a dive....?

perogato Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Dorset is a dive too then? It can happen to anyone anywhere ... opportunity makes the thief In the meantime, I can report that nothing has turned up. Not really a surprise hey?
