I noticed a few stolen gear threads. Seemed like an overall stolen gear thread would be a good idea.

My friend Dan had a rather unique guitar stolen a few weeks ago that he built himself. I was on loan to Eli from Smoking Popes and it got stolen along with some other gear out of a car in the Chicago area.It's a Lakland Jazzmaster prototype guitar - Fiesta Red, 24-fret Rosewood fretboard, and Black pickguard. Should be easy to spot with that Lakland logo on the headstock and the pickups are somewhat closer together than a traditional Fender. I don't think it had the upper "rhythm" controls but it did have an extra switch for phase. Trying to find an actual useful picture of the the guitar, until then this is all I've got.Dan is on the right with the Lakland Jazzmaster. I'm on the left with a Fender Jazzmaster.Just found another:

http://montreal.fr.craigslist.ca/msd/3849139486.htmlThe man who makes music under the name SFV Acid had his gear stolen in Montreal. They took his MPC and Machine Drum, which means the years of work he had saved on those devices is now missing. If you happen to buy an MPC full of wonderfully tripped out electro, it's probably this one.

The Telecaster again^^This Tele, not the Les Paul in question:

The bass on the right in this photo is the stolen P-bass:Blue-burst Ric:(Holy shit that's a nice bass.)
