Default Animals as Leaders' gear stolen

Quote:
Hey guys.
We've got some pretty terrible news to report. Upon returning home to our house in LA we discovered that we'd been robbed while were out on tour. The thieves were able to get away with Javier's Chevy Blazer and all of the equipment we didn't have on tour with us. 10 guitars in total. This includes many of our one of a kind custom instruments (Stranberg,Rick Toone ) as well as amplifiers, PA equipment and personal items.
This is beyond devastating. We know so many of you have been beyond supportive with Javier's legal troubles. We may need more of your help now to potentially find some of these one of a kind instruments that may pop up on Ebay, Craigslist, pawn shops, used music stores etc.
We're adding an album containing photos and detailed descriptions of the stolen gear to our profile. Please take a look and keep your eyes open for anything that looks close to this stuff. I truly think that with your help we have an exponentially better chance of tracking some of this down.

Thanks,
Tosin, Javier
Dude...

I'm especially mourning the (hopefully temporary) loss of the Toone. Say what you will, I'm in love with that guitar.

It's certainly going to be hard to sell

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

Which often leads to the hard to sell item being destroyed, or thrown in the trash :/

No kidding... It's not like those are instruments that can easily be replaced either.

I do indeed feel bad for them, but am I reading correctly that they had all this stuff in a car that they left sitting there when they went on tour? Doesn't seem like a good idea.

EDIT

Nah I think I'm just reading it wrong. Doesn't sound like it was all left in the Blazer, after re-reading it.
