Man I'm sure sorry to hear about this, it really sucks.
We've had a problem with petty theft in my neighborhood for a long time, my 3 wheel bicycle made 3 bikes and 2 car stereos in less than a month. When I found the 3 wheeler in the weeds behind a vacant h ouse, the cop who came to do the second police report refused to take it in and fingerprint it, even tried to tell me they don't have a fingerprint database. Incredible...in 2006 my town didn't have the same criminal resources Barney Fife had on TV in 1960??? Hey at least he had a filing cabinet full of mug shots...
In the end nothing was done, they didn't try to find out who stole it, we still have a problem.
It may not make you feel any better but not long before I left Texas a friend went to the lake for the day, came home and ALL his equipment was gone - Guitars, amps. PA, two nice keyboards including one synth made in the late 60's or early 70's, mics, bass and bass amp (I never found out if it was the 70's Fender Bassman he had or the other amp)...they were set up for band practice, the only reason my rig wasn't there was I had already made plans to move to Louisiana, they had asked me to play guitar. I played in another band with the keyboard and bass player for about 4 years, they were really disappointed when I had to turn it down, they couldn't find another dependable guitar player who could also handle just about any harmony vocals they wanted. (We were all 3 singers, and really tight with harmonies)
I barely escaped, I had come over a few times and started working on a song list with them, then got the chance to go help someone open a computer shop and decided it would be worth a try. If I hadn't made that decision my rig would have been long gone too.
