GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Words Cannot Express How Angry I Am.
Posted by: drummingguitarist06 Apr 6 2008, 07:59 PM
So I leave for Mississippi to go to my mother's house...
My apartment door typically stays unlocked (dumb, yes, but...), because no one has done anything to me recently, and I trust my roomies, and they are good guys...but one of them is lying...
Over the weekend, my Ibanez GRG170DX was stolen from me. Amp wasn't taken, but it was unplugged, and now I don't know where it could've possibly gone...after FOUR YEARS of waiting on that damn thing for my birthday...I finally get it and play the poop out of every night, only to have this happen to me.
I am so angry...I don't have another electric nor the money to get one for a really long time. And I don't consider myself stupid for not locking the door (nothing's been stolen before, FOR MONTHS)...but seriously, wtf?...
Well, looks my guitar journey has ended for awhile, guess I'll just stay tuned and brush up on theory. I'm going to go destroy something...grr.

Bummer man...sorry to hear it. Hope you find out where it got to.

Stolen gear is hell. I'm guessing you had no insurance? Your friends not see anything? All i can say is scan ebay for pics of your guitar. Any distinguishing features and look for adverts around town. Most instruments are sold on when stolen so get on ebay and search. If you find it on there and your pretty certain phone police before deadline of auction.

thats a bummer man. hope you find it or can get new gear soon.

Ow. That sucks man, stupid people 
I'm prolly gonna sound weird now, but what about practicing in your head until you get a new guitar/find your old one? It's better than nothing and most scientists swear that this DOES work.

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this 
I wish you have another one too much better as soon as posible !

I can imagine myself sweeping at 300bpm in my head, And i do it all the time.....I dont think im quite there yet! 
Just kidding around

For me, it's actually harder to play in my head than to play the "real thing". Really.
But then, I am more of a bassist now so...

Hope you beat the crap out of the guy if you find out who stole it and get your fingers on him! Okey maybe not that.
Sorry to hear it man, I can't imagine how pissed and angry I would have been if any of my guitars got stolen. You should call the police and report it in my opinion, no matter if you find it on eBay or around in your town or what so ever. It is pretty valuable things, both money wise and for you personal.
Good luck man! Got my fingers crossed for you!

Obviously phone the police also yes but I'd have a look on ebay also for it as a lot of robbers sell guitars on. My friends guitar was stolen and he found his guitar on ebay. The robber had took a picture of it. He phoned the police and ended up getting it back

Posted by: Nick325 Apr 6 2008, 08:46 PM

I hope that if he sell your gears...with the money gained from the sell he will buy only medicines!!
I'm so sad for you, really.

Posted by: drummingguitarist06 Apr 7 2008, 03:05 AM
Lol, I would do that I'm that desperate.
Thanks for the support/tips everyone. I'll keep them in mind.
At least I know I got love here! I'll definitely be constructive with this downtime, and I'll be mastering theory.
Once again, thanks.

That totally sucks man, honestly, even if you don't think anything will get stolen, it's good practice to lock you door. Hope you get it back. You say one of your roomates is lying, why do you say that? (You don't have to answer, just curious.)
Posted by: drummingguitarist06 Apr 7 2008, 03:59 AM
Because one of them is a pothead and doesn't care, another is ALSO a pothead, but he's honest...it wouldn't only be his friends. And the guy who lives right in the room next to me is a good friend. I mean, that just goes without saying...
It really is irritating.
Posted by: RIP Dime Apr 7 2008, 05:38 AM
Oh, that's terrible, I hate potheads. 
If I were you I would leave a tip to an officer that a certain someone has a large amount of mary jane under thier bed.
