Amp Stolen While Rehearsing.

[Johnny Mac]

Thats a bummer but as it's so unique it can't be long till it pops up. It's the pits when things like this happen, thieves like this are ####!!s.

Sorry to hear that Martin-I hope the scrotes got a hernia carrying it away. You mentioned claiming on your motor policy-I may be wrong but I doubt whether you would be able to(even though you said you wont anyway) because the cover is for personal effects and they probably wouldn't class an amp as a personal effect ( Insurers normally define such things). AS others have said, hopefully it will be recovered.

I had my car broken in outside the same place about 5 years ago, when it used to be Sankey Soap downstairs.
There was a sleeping bag in my boot and they used it to carry everything in the whole car away, luckily my guitar and amp were inside with me but a few pedals, CD's shoes, leads etc were taken.

The must not have liked my shades as they smashed them up and left them by the car.  Fortunately I had a spare set at home 8)

I checked Johnny Roadhouse today and it's not in there.

Yet...  ;)

Go pre-emptive. Go to all the local places that sell/buy second hand gear and make some kind of arrangement with them, that if it's offered, make an excuse, ask the seller to "come back in an hour when the fella that deals with that is here", then they give you a buzz,  you're waiting as they return, with a nice, friendly officer of the law. Or a hurley bat. Whichever works for you.

..... as it's so unique it can't be long till it pops up.

That's what I'm hoping too. Fingers crossed.

Cheers.

Ahh man, I'm genuinely gutted to hear that, Martin. It's such a nasty, nasty feeling to come across the ransacked remains where thieves have left. I really hope you get the amp back soon, and those thieving ****s get precisely what they deserve...

Damn, makes me sick to hear this. I'll keep my eyes open in case it turns up over the pennines in Yorkshire.
Really hope you get it back Martin.

[Adam.M]

I've put these photographs on my phone and I'll keep a keep a close eye out for it when doing my rounds in Leeds.

Stuff that gets knicked here seems to show up in Manchester... maybe it'll go the other way around...

I've no doubt you'll get it back though, there's no argument as to who owns it really!

[martinw]

Thanks again everyone.

the latter is just delightful, and a good idea :D
