Text from the poster:

This thriving little runt stole a limited edition Ibanez RG331M in bright orange from Neath Music at 10:08am on Wednesday the 9th of January 2013. He came in with an empty guitar bag and you'll clearly see him putting the instrument into the bag. A staff member followed him, challenged him and was threatened with being stabbed. We'd simply love to know who, and where he is. Any info will be treated with complete confidentiality.

Anyone being offered this guitar please contact Neath police or PM me

AH! we have to protect the guilty these days you know.
But if the culprit has been charged then the judicial take on it is that it would prevent a successful conviction.

We know Adrian at Neath Music quite well - he has been very helpful with kit for Dawne. Just hope someone has recognised the thief and/or found the guitar. It does sound rather distinctive.

Well I thought his idea for stealing the guitar was well executed. As for his choice of guitar, and method of selling it on. I'm afraid it's a resounding 'Nul points'

"I thought his idea for stealing the guitar was well executed."

Musos stick together! I remember the time someone nicked Alan Bell's concertina: it was reported on here, and the thief tried to sell it to one of the Hobgoblin music shops: what yer tea-leaf didn't know was that all concertinas have serial numbers (do Ibanez guitars?) and the guy at Hobgoblin was aware of the loss and checked the serial number of said concertina offered for sale - tea-leaf duly nicked!
