NFT: Need Your Help - Band Gear Stolen in Kansas City

[Archie F. Swin]

I belong to a drummer's message board. Apparently a drummer from this band posted saying the band's trailer got burglarized in the metro. Thought it would be wise to get planeteers on the mother****ing case!

Sunday night in Kansas City our trailer lock was clipped. A lot of our gear was stolen. Unique stuff. Vintage one of a kind instruments. If anyone sees this gear on the scene please let us know. The cops say they’ll try to pawn it. There is a chance we could get some back. Not hopeful, but here is the gear list. It sucks people are so bad off they do things like this. #FixTheSystem


Gibson Les Paul guitar
Fender squire bass
Hofner Very Thin Standard hollow body guitar
Nord Lead 2
Hammond XK-1
Vintage drum set
Please contact us if any of this shows up.
