[UPDATE - recovered!!] Stolen - '11 DGT Goldtop - Kansas City

[jtbadge]

My prized Paul Reed Smith Grissom Goldtop (serial 11180450) was stolen from my home in Kansas City in broad daylight last Friday the 21st. I was hoping to get the word out and see if anyone could help me track it down?

Awe crap, man. That sucks. I'll keep an eye on CL here in Colorado.

No sign of her on CL here in the Boston area, but I'll be watching.

May the jerk who stole it get a nasty infection somewhere delicate.

 

[Danerada]

I feel your pain man. I will be on the lookout.

 

[Mike Duncan]

Dislike! That's horrible!

 

[vchizzle]

Man, I've been there. Sucks. Will keep eye out. Hope you find her.

Sorry to hear it. Watch the pawn shops. I'll help if I see her in NC.

That kind of thing pisses me off!!!!!!!! I wont tolerate a thief. I will keep an eye out for it in iowa. Not a lot of prs owners in my area though. good luck getting it back brother.

They caught the guy right? They couldn't get him to say where it was?

Man if he doesn't - ask the DA about "Victims Rights" - get notified and go to his arraignment and make sure they don't cut a deal that doesn't include restitution or the return of your guitar. DA's HAVE A STACK of cases to "clear" - be the polite but squeaky wheel.

post that on facebook too! maybe it helps...

I received an email today that a guitar matching the description had been around some Craigslists in Kansas in recent weeks. Apparently, I hadn't set myself up with a wide enough search area.

Any information leading to the recovery of this instrument would be greatly appreciated.

Good Luck man. Hope you get it back and they catch the bastard. Did they steal anything else? If not, could be someone who knows you had it.

They arrested someone breaking into a house down the street a few days after that confessed to breaking into my house, but all of the stuff had already been moved as he was homeless and couldn't hold on to any of it.

So my guess is the guy was stoned and has no idea where he sent the stuff?

Or he didn't want to rat out his buddies, or any number of other circumstances. Who knows.

I would think he brought it to pawn shop or local music shop.....you may have to do some leg work. Note: if he did pawn it/sell it, you will be on the hook for whatever it was sold for. Hopefully, you have insurance. Good luck.
