more equipment theft in the fort

at 5am today, somebody smashed the window to jam-meister lee allen's explorer in front of his house on west 7th and stole his big amp (ampeg svt 5 pro). there are only a couple of these in texas, so if you see one for sale, it's probably hot. if you know anything about this hit lee up on his myspace thingy or catch him at fred's or the wreck room. or you can post a comment here and i'll pass it on to him.

guard your gear, kiddies. that means humping it inside your house at the end of the night instead of leaving it in yr vehicle. be careful, too, who you let in your practice pad. there are some heartless bastards out there, and if you invite them in, they _will_ fuck you over. or better still, don't store your gear any place that's not secured. and if you keep it at home, don't call attention to the fact that it's there. a wise man i know once said: "playing loud = invitation to thieves." and keep a sharp eye out if you frequent ebay, craigslist, pawnshops, flea markets, etc. we've got to stop these bastards.
