This kind of thing angers me to the point of barely-contained fury. Us musicians have it hard enough, but for someone to come along and steal something that was probably painstakingly saved-up for (and waited for...dat waiting list!)... just makes me want to find them and flay the skin from their backs. And the rest.
I shared this on FB, hopefully the power of social media will really come into its own.
Hopefully any music shop worth their salt will see a couple of scrotes with some guitars they clearly don't own and do something about it. It's a small hope, but like someone said, these lowlife probably don't know what they've got and think they can palm it off on the first shop they come to. Or ebay (which would work better for the musical community at large, as all it takes is putting "Blackmachine" in the search bar every couple of days.)
As you can tell, I feel very strongly about this kind of stuff. I don't have any custom gear... or any expensive gear at all, really, but what I do have has been really hard to obtain. I don't earn much, and added to my younger-me's stupidity I have a huge amount of debt, so saving up and finally getting something I want is an issue very close to my heart. To think that some utter c**t can come along and take away all that you've worked so hard for... well, let's just say pacifist Nadz goes away for a while, and raging, chaotic evil, torture-specialist Nadz fills the vacancy.
