    There's lots of really nasty words that I would use to describe the individuals responsible for the break-in and theft of all the stuff, but, since this whole website is family oriented, I'm going to have to impose some rather strict censorship measures on myself.....for obvious reasons, even using really nasty words to describe them is being too polite and generous.

    What they did was a vile, selfish act against an Australian business that's probably battling away like most other Aussie businesses, just to make ends meet.

    To be honest, calling the offenders any nasty names or words, etc, is really just giving them more time, energy, effort, and mental thought/consideration than they really deserve from us, by that, I mean that they aren't worthy.

    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.

    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.
