You think Phil X did it !!!

That place doesn't even have a store front, it's in what looks like an office building.

For something this big, it was most certainly planned and based on surefooted information from the inside - you can't stack 150 rare guitars in a van and run away.. It was most certainly done with a truck or two.. A big shame anyway - but, I'm wondering how would they even think of selling them since they are unique and rare and they will be spotted for certain..

Its the same when great well known works of Art are stolen Cosmin. They are put into private collections where they can be enjoyed by individuals. I would be surprised if they'll hit the public market...but they will sell on the criminal market without a doubt.
