The only thing worse than the bastards who steal musical instruments
are the bastards who buy stolen musical instruments.

Spoken like a true banjo player, Leadfingers - but how do you tell?

Sorry t'hear about your instruments, I've had a few come up missin' m'self over the years. I'll never understand what motivates people to do shit like that! ~Biskit~

Anyone need new fiddle strings? I know where you SHOULD be able to get the guts you need to make them.

Miserable, stinking, slimy, loathsome, crawling, louse covered, filthy, scaberous, uncaring, damned by God, hellfire bound, pus tongued, rotten gutted, infected pimples on musicians' arses.

Give 'em what the Shawnees gave Greathouse.

I know you love your accordion...but the thief!? Can there really be two accordion lovers? But I hope you recover your instruments in good condition. It is tiresome and disheartening to find that others think they are entitled to your things just because.

I can understand someone pinching a decent banjo but an Accordion!!!
that takes the bisquit. Only joking, I've had instruments taken or damaged by some right B*****stds. Hope you had them insured. Better to catch the thieves but what sort of punishment would they get from our courts? Do you know if they are local (the local police should have some idea)
Anyway, details noted & will keep a look out for any "special Offers" on my travels.
Hope you can find a temporary replacement.
