Peope who steal instruments are even worse than people who paint windows shut...

A good chum of mine was playing his first gig at a new venue (one where I've been playing for years) and the night was going well... until...

He finished up the show, ran up stairs to hit the loo, stopped at the bar on his way back down to grab a pint to pack up on... when he came back to the 'music' room, his guitar was gone... All that was left was the patch-chord, trailing off towards the door...

The worst part about this is that the pub is only slightly bigger than your average matchbox, so how this asshole managed to get out unseen is a total mystery...
