    Pitbull Guitars Warehouse Burglary 17/01/18

    Just learned from Adam via an email that the PBG warehouse was broken into and a large quantity of stock has been taken.

    Adam and team now have to do a full stocktake to find out just what was taken and what they've got left.

    Once this is done they can update the individual kit 'in stock' status.

    In the meantime, please note that items shown as 'in stock' may now be unavailable until the next delivery of kits (or the police manage to catch the thieves and recover the stolen kits).

    I'm sure you'll want to give Adam your full support at this difficult time.

    Geez, what is this world coming to, I've had stuff stolen from me in the past so I know what it's like, Adam and all the Pitbull Guitars staff have my full support, most Australian businesses are doing it pretty tough nowadays, and to have some low-life break in and commit an act of burgulary is pretty bad, if the authorities don't catch the one, or ones responsible, I just hope karma catches up with them in the end.

    This afternoon I had someone on Facebook try to scam me out of $750.00, fortunately they didn't get my bank details, check out my thread about it in the naughty room section.

    Bad news indeed, there must be one word somewhere to describe people that can do this .... being a family forum I'll keep my guess of the word to myself...

    I read this on Facebook Ads posted on the FB Perth Guitarist page to keep an eye out for any of the missing items for sale.
    It happened 2 nights in a row so the thieves were greedy. Apparently one guy has been caught and some stock recovered. Hopefully that leads to information on the other thieves. You should be able to find the thread from Ad's on there. Most of the stuff stolen was finished guitars, a heap of the new 5 watt amps and expensive hardware. It happened Sunday and Monday night I think late hours.

    FYI I have been quiet on the forum because at work we now have internet site tracking software so if it's not work related can get in trouble. I used to spend about 90% of my forum time at work so not happy Jan !

    I used to hot spot from my mobile to a work iPad so that forum surfing was kept under the radar. These days I have a better mobile but not enough spare time whilst at work.

    Good to hear some of the gear was recovered.

    One word for them: ***holes.

    I'd keep an eye out on eBay for a large number of kits being put up for sale by a seller that isn't pitbullguitars or a seller with 0 feedback score. Very good chance it's the crooks trying to dump their loot.
