Numerous reports of theft of music gear have been posted around town by local musicians and music stores lately. In all my years as a musician, these recent attacks of theives have been the most. Cases Music was hit about a month ago where crooks made away with several new guitars. Among the guitars taken was a Fender Strat by one of their teachers. Local guitarist Tym Morrison got an acoustic guitar stolen from the Rozy area and a while back a few saxaphones were stolen from a vehicle but found later. I had a poweramp, 2 cymbals and an old snare stolen out of my cubevan a while back and local drummer Greg Simpson had a custom snare I built (known as a Ghekko Snare) stolen from a bar a few years back. Local musician Dan Beaupre is inquiring on the whereabouts of a GK bass amp that went missing lately. He is not calling it theft yet. The amp was last seen on Doncaster. Here is a photo of a similar amp. Check your inventory because if you bought it used, it may not be yours. ;-) To keep up on local musicians theft, keep checking the music forums in our local area including this one, Facebook's Musicians Wanted forum, and Sault Metal Scene. Let's stop this bullshit. Someone mentioned that local musicians should have their own court to deal with these scabs. Now that would be fun eh kids? :-)
