I happen to notice this in a forum, it's from an old friend who's not only a great musician but a really great person

Dear Friends,
I ask your help in locating two acoustic guitars that were stolen from my vehicle in Oakland on March 1, 2009.

If you see or hear of a guitar you suspect might be one of these, would you please call or e-mail me? Thank you so much for your help!

Sincerely,
Sylvia Herold

Collings CJ model flattop guitar
Spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard
Distinctive headstock with "Collings" script inlay
In padded Gore-tex case, pea-green with green leather handles and trim, plus brown backpack straps
Quarter-inch jack in endpin hole


Epiphone Triumph archtop guitar
Spruce top, maple back and sides, rosewood fingerboard
Mid-brown finish with greenish tinge
Built approx. 1945
Quarter-inch jack mounted under pickguard
In padded Gore-tex case, black with white lettering, possibly says "Levy's"


Thanks for you attention. Sylvia is a performer & these guitars were some of the much relied on tools of her trade

Barry
