Reading about stolen instruments and my distress if mine were stolen (even though they are insured)prompts me to once again bring up the discussion regarding installing built in chips or tracking devices into musical instruments.Some of out instruments are worth a lot of money and yet we do not keep up with the latest trends regarding the situation of them being stolen.Should we be doing more? We leave them at home when we go out,some are left in cars,some in pubs whilst we go for a pee,on stage ,behind stage,in tents etc etc the list goes on.It is only when they are stolen do we realise the difficulty of replacement,the anger at the bastards that have taken them and part of our sometimes daily life.
Is it not about time we started to plan to get our own back?
Someone needs to set up a World Wide system of tracking our instruments.A micro chip or tracker is so small now days it can be placed into a dogs neck in seconds. What do you think,Mass response and we bring down the price.
