This is the most recent NY thread I found, so maybe it's the appropriate place to insert that a brief story in my local (Wichita Kansas) newsless rag today (10 AUG 2010) reported:

FIRE DAMAGES NEIL YOUNG MEMORABILIA

A fire at a San Francisco Bay area warehouse early Tuesday damaged a vintage car and other memoriabilia belongin gto singer Neil Young ....

The 10,000 square foot building in San Carlos, Calif, contained only items belonging to Young and his family, including six vintage cars and paintings and what appears to be cases of musical equipment ....

Some of the memorabilia was removed as the fire burned, but it's not clear how much was salvaged....

The 64-year-old Canadian-born singer and songwriter is an avid collector of classic cars. He recently worked with a mechanic in Wichita on a project to turn his 1959 Lincoln Continental into an electric vehicle.

[I presume the "local reference" in the last paragraph above was the reason that the report appeared here. No reference to the incident found in national media.)

((The headline was actually - in column-inches - longer than the article.))

The report appeared next to the notice that Betty White is now officially an honorary Forest Ranger. Neil's picture was bigger than hers, but Betty is still better looking.
