The night before we wanted to leave to Livorno (June 18, 2015) someone decided to break into our practice room! Apart from an old MacBook and a pedal board, they stole my RI tank, serial no. AC-018539.
Some of you might know this unit, it has been used in the shootout (see 'gear' section). It has been re-tolexed by myself (badly) and has a couple of other mods/replacements. So if you find it somewhere (especially you guys in the EU), please call the police and send me a message! Thanks.

Frack! Things like this make me want to take a thief "chumming" along the SoCal coast. I hope it's found quickly and retribution is swift & certain.

Sorry to hear about your reverb tank. Good luck, hope you find it. Not cheap to replace!
I once was on break at a gig when out of the corner of my eye I watched some girl pick up my guitar in case and start to walk out the back door of the club!! Needless to say my buddies said they never saw me move so fast! She said, "oh, I thought this was my guitar" Yea, right!

Really sorry to hear that, Sancho. Hope you'll get the stuff back.
At least you have the Surfy-Bear in the world, so no one should remain reverb-less.
Was the pedalboard loaded?
There's a good chance that the thieves would expose themselves by mistakenly trying to sell the Reverb as an amp head...

Thanks guys. I really hope it will pop up somewhere sometime. At least it's easy to spot.
The pedal board was loaded and is the 2nd board that was stolen this year...sigh
Will check out the 2nd hand stores today, lot's of people commented that they found their gear there.

Frack. Was that one yours also? From the practice space?

Sorry to hear about this. Do you have any household contents insurance that you can claim?
It's possible they thought it was a head and may get rid of it somewhere when they find out it isn't.

And what town may that be? I mean, if it's near a border your stuff may end up abroad. The German border is quite close to where I live so I could have a look around for offerings in 2nd hand shops if thats the case... Just a thought.

The town is 'Saarbrücken' in south west Germany. Very close to the French border, but also close to Luxembourg and Belgium. Thanks for your concern and if everybody keeps an eye on the market, I am convinced it will be found again!
Unfortunately the insurance does not cover the practice room  but I will get an extra insurance for that (quite expensive, but worth it after all). Too bad I did not have it before.

Hey Kilian, I'll keep an eye out on the Belgian, Dutch and French second hand websites, stolen gear has been known to pop up on these from time to time. Here's the links in case you don't know these sites yet:
www.2dehands.be
www.2dehands.nl
www.leboncoin.fr
I hope you'll get it back, cheers.

Thanks again, guys. And thanks for the links, I will definitely check them out.
Actually most of the stolen gear in our town pops up in some of the pawn shops/thrift stores. At least that what other people told me, who got their gear stolen. Hopefully I will find it there one day.
But I personally still think it was one of the other bands practicing there, when they saw our door wide open. Wish I could check their practice rooms...

Good luck recovering your gear man. King-sized drag.
