Yeah ^ Seems like its Detective TA for me. You would think for some high-end material stuff there would be something in place with the Pawn Shops and the police stuff.

:S

hey Barry, I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to your car. The parking spaces at or around the Guv have been notoriously bad for break and enters for some time.

Frankly I wouldn't even chance it by putting a blanket over anything of value. It's always better to lock it up in your trunk or to take it with you/leave it somewhere else. I just hope that you manage to recover it or at the very least, have the insurer compensate you the value.

I also hate to suggest this, and this goes for anyone, but be aware of what you post on this forum when you make plans to meet-up for parties, club nights, etc. It only takes a few degrees of separation for someone to figure out what's going on and use that as an opportunity to commit theft. I'm not suggesting it was applicable in this case but just a word of caution. I've met a lot of genuinely good people from this site before, but sometimes I think it also gets too easy to become too trusting.

There is random theft, and then there's targeted theft. Sometimes you can't prevent the inevitable, but we can always help reduce the risk.

Best of luck in your recovery!

Originally posted by Anas Attia I feel your pain man, something very similar happened to me in that same area, except the guys who stole my shit decided it would be funny to scratch up the entire car and all the windows too... Keep your chin up and do a round at the pawnshops, once Monday and another Tuesday. If you still in the gutter, msg me im buying a 4D for really cheap, and can get you the same deal. peace.

Awww Anas...your awesome to offer him the deal. What price are they going for these days? Usually hot items are 1/4 to 1/2 the market price, so maybe someone should put out the word that they are looking for a hot item and see who bites.

Peace out.....P

I'm sorry my friend

Originally posted by DJ_Ampz Thanks everyone THey told me to wait till normal business hours to file a police report :S Ill be trying my best to watch the pawn shops, hard as im an hour out of town. Im sure the Police have something lined up with regards to this kinda crap. Ill also watch the other forums and sale options. As for the lot, everything else seemed to be in shape. there was even a hell of alot of ppl around, mostly going to guv. :s Serial ended in a 096

Really, really sorry to hear that Barry. I hope you're able to recover at least some of your stuff.

I know you live out of town...maybe what you could do is get a listing of the downtown Pawn Shops and phone them and let them know what happened, and give them your phone number so they can at least call you if something comes up. Tell them you have filed a police report, and you can identify the products by serial number. That way you don't have to drive into the city all the time just to look around unsuccessfully.

^Thanks Lisa

That i think is the plan for now. and watch the online sales.

ps. i really dont think it was someone on TA, but that would be heartbreaking if it was found off this board. I posted "we are meeting at scotland yard" like 3 hours before, and only my good friends know where i usually park, so I cant see it being off this board.

I took my laptop and other gear with me to the pre-meet and thought......the mixer will be ok. :s

Barry

Really sorry to hear that man
Balls...

sorry to about this Barry thats fucked up...
whoever broken into your car i have a feeling that they

That would indeed be terrible. You also don't know how many ppl read these boards that you don't know though. So it is possible that someone could have saw that on here. I don't think that's that likely though.

If you call the pawn shops and tell them your story. You may also want to call them back every once in awhile just to check, since you can't always count on them to call you back. I would make a chart!

gotta think like a thief.

If I stole it and wasn't desperate for my next hit I'd sit on the goods for a while as it will lose its heat thus giving it more value, so be persistent at the pawn shops/craigslist

it's happened to me before as well...what a piss off...sorry to hear that

i heard the unfortunate news from aleksandra right after you got off the fone with her. im terribly sorry...what a horrible, horrible person. you were missed lastnight barry. if its any consilation, your release party inside the acid lounge was rammed, bumping and rocking!

keep up the great work

Exactly, but pawn shops in the downtown area are aware of this type of customer because they know these types of characters that come in and out. Tbh, the reality is that many of the people causing these types of crimes have their own connections and will trade the mixer and cds for drugs or cash by asking people around their area. Sounds shitty...but they prob. don't know the cost of the mixer and will trade it for a tiny amount of drugs or cash in comparison to it's real cost.

So sorry to hear about this Barry. That's one hell of a mixer. As for the cd's couldn't you re-burn them? You must have the original music files? Sure it's time consuming, but at least they're recoverable.

barry check pm.

wow thats fucked.. i remember losing my xone 92 2 technics 1200;s before too..the amp and needeles luckly my vinyl was saved fuck

if you guys come across a xone 92 mixer with the headphone jack still inside the main phono input of the mixer that would be mine its been 3 years..
