I just sent my condolences to Italy. As a victim of guitar theft, I know how they must feel. Thanks for spreading the word.

Strewth! Someone knew where to find good instuments, I'd haul a truck across Europe just for the '52 Tele and the National, there must be half a million in instruments there. I'll print the list out and circulate them to all the local shops though I guess they'll probably end up in the US or Japan, or there are now big collectors, with lots of money in Russia.

Well, the thiefs certainly had good taste in guitars. I'm forwarding the list to the music stores and my friends up here.

Incredibly shameful conduct there. This is almost like one of those heists where an art museum gets robbed. It is impossible to replace almost all of those instruments.
