Re: All my guitars/amps and pedals have been stolen
Thanks. I did/do not want to put anyone job at risk so I am proceeding with caution, but I am following up on this. I am on work-related travel now outside of the US until June 30, it will take some time.
I really appreciate this forum. Offsetguitars.com is one great community.

Not very hard it seems.samashsecurity wrote: We tried......
The correct and ethical thing to 'try' would've been turning the stolen equipment in to the police instead of 'moving on' and selling it (which would be illegal where I am).

They have admitted to handling stolen goods on a public forum. I don't know much about US law, but in the UK that would pique the Police's interest.

Re: All my guitars/amps and pedals have been stolen
Speaking of which, make sure you take some screenshots of those posts... like, now. Might be useful. Seriously, giving you store credit equal to the stolen merchandise they knowingly sold should be a 100% win-win for them. It's a write off and they won't face worse legal or PR ramifications.

Update, Sam Ash has found a few of my pedals and is shipping them to me and they are sending a check for the sold gear.
I am quite happy about it.

I know it's a fraction of what you lost, but a fraction of justice still beats zero justice.

Re: All my guitars/amps and pedals have been stolen
they also have to have a license to sell used gear (at least where im from), and they stand to lose that if theyve engaged in illegal activity. that would shut down a large part of their business and i doubt they are willing to do that (especially as this infringes on the very essence of said license). As a GC guy, trust me, we would do whatever it takes to make it right.
good luck!
good luck!
can i scream?

Re: All my guitars/amps and pedals have been stolen
I guess not. They handled this situation really badly, going from Hero of the Beach to rubbing salt in the poor guy's wounds in the course of a few posts, as others have pointed out, knowingly selling stolen goods. Hope they get collared despite their belated attempt to spend their way out of a crisis of their own making.
