| NOVEMBER 21, 2002: STOLEN EQUIPMENT: Devastating news! Tom's live gear has been stolen from his studio in Amsterdam, only two days before his grand performance at the Dutch Dimension-event at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam! Under these sad circumstances the event has been cancelled. It is not clear how Junkie XL's gear has been stolen, but we're asking all music lovers and Junkie XL-fans in Holland and around the world to look out for the following gear: Akai MPC 4000 in a rugged case (Nook), Yamaha AW 4416 (power button is missing and the red master fader is loose), also in a rugged case (Nook), MPC 2000 XL (the power button is missing) and a black hardbag with cables and feeding (plastered with a Soulfly-sticker). For the person who can lead us to the stolen gear we offer a reward of � 2500,-. Please mail all information to: [email protected] |

reminds me of when BT's stuff got stolen 
damn, junkie xl owns
"Luckily" it's only his live gear, not his full studio equipment...
he earned so much money for a little less conversation so that would be no problem to buy new equipment 
The MPC's are sequencers. You can replace them, but given the nature of the equipment, they were likely to contain his live-set. Which is gone now. So even if he had new gear, he'd still have lost his live-sequences.
Theft is indeed high in Amsterdam at least I know. There probably were things in that equipment that were stored. Plus some synths and stuff are rare if they're older so a new one may take awhile to find. This sux, it's happened to BT, Hybrid, and now Junkie XL.
God i hate thieves so fu**ing much
especially when it happens to the people who least deserve it
i doubt he will, but i really hope he gets his stuff back.
damn bastards! theyre prolly going to sell it to some kid for a real cheap price.. ffs
fuckin shit...these people gotta stop stealin these guys's stuff...frist BT, then Hybrid, now Junkie XL...this tops the stealin of Hybrid's stuff...fuckin bastards...
hey does anyone wanna buy a Akai MPC 4000 in a rugged case (Nook), Yamaha AW 4416 (power button is missing and the red master fader is loose), also in a rugged case (Nook), MPC 2000 XL (the power button is missing) and a black hardbag with cables and feeding.
uh yeah I would. 
Which is why big name DJs must insure their equipment at all cost....
I suppose it's because Tom hit it hard in the UK with his Elvis remake.....being #1 and all in the charts....
Anyone could have asconded off with his stuff....I just hope that they find the culprits.....and of course, all bedroom DJs should insure their tables and mixers too.....especially when you have tons of people over...
Such deviant acts show how instable our society is...Evil lurks in everyone...it just depends on how one is capable of pulling such a heist....
We all heard of the greatest heists....and the one that remained in my mind was that UK incident in the early 50s when 8 British nationals pulled a train off the tracks and got off with over 2 million British pounds...considered a lump sum of life-time insurance for these dudes...eventually they got caught and guess what...they all broke out of prison...lol....one eventually got to Brazil where there are jurisdictions against other countries on extradiction laws. He lived till 70 before going back to London to serve his remaining terms...
So why the bloody long story...? It's all a matter of taking care of your own shit...start now... it's like 10 bucks per month for EQ worth over US $ 10,000 I believe...
Question of the day: Why isn't Ferry, Tiesto nor Armin hit with such an incident yet?"
My guess for Tiesto is that he works everywhere and anywhere...
JKX
damn assholez!!! They should be punished HARD

it's not only the money when you have something stolen.even if you are financialy capable to replace it or had it insured...if you are emotionally connected with something...then it can't be replaced ! but that's our society...Junkie XL has to accept this fact and move...it will be really hard to get his equipment back
It's a shame that this has been happening to DJs. It shows that it's got to be someone who doesn't like the music (otherwise, why steal older equipment instead of new)? I doubt anyone with an appreciation for the music would do this...And it sucks big time. I hope maybe there's some way Junkie can find his stuff. Wish him luck!
