Animals As Leaders NEED YOUR HELP!!! (Stolen gear)

[Jesse Zuretti]

taken from their Facebook:

Hey guys.
We've got some pretty terrible news to report. Upon returning home to our house in LA we discovered that we'd been robbed while were out on tour. The thieves were able to get away with Javier's Chevy Blazer and all of the equipment we didn't have on tour with us. 10 guitars in total. This includes many of our one of a kind custom instruments (Stranberg,Rick Toone ) as well as amplifiers, PA equipment and personal items.
This is beyond devastating. We know so many of you have been beyond supportive with Javier's legal troubles. We may need more of your help now to potentially find some of these one of a kind instruments that may pop up on Ebay, Craigslist, pawn shops, used music stores etc.
We're adding an album containing photos and detailed descriptions of the stolen gear to our profile. Please take a look and keep your eyes open for anything that looks close to this stuff. I truly think that with your help we have an exponentially better chance of tracking some of this down.

Thanks,
Tosin, Javier

If anyone has any information about any of this gear, please contact us at animalsgear@gmail.com. Please, keep it to messages containing leads on the stolen gear. Thanks!

The stolen guitars:
-.strandberg* #17 (the one that the production models will be based on)
-The semi-hollow LACS Ibby
-The RG2228 with the white EMGs
-Toone "Viceroy"
-Eastman ER-1 7
-Vicente Sanchis (classical guitar)
-Black DC800
-Two custom Regius 8s

Yeah.

 

[rgaRyan]

I feel so bad for these guys. They work so hard and they don't deserve this bout of bad luck lately. First Javier, now stolen gear? Sad.

 

[hiltz171jim]

I shared this with the Carvin forums, the guys over there I'm sure will be glad to help as much as they can. This is seriously such terrible news and whoever is responsible is despicable

 

[sahaal]

Javier you can have my Blazer

 

[GhostsofAcid]

What the fuck is wrong with people?

 

[linqua]

I declare war.

 

[Captain Butterscotch]

I went into a rage when I saw their post on Facebook, because I imagined what I would do if this happened to me. This is beyond words, and especially when it's a theft of this magnitude.

 

[RevDrucifer]

Man, what a shit string of luck...

I'll repost this at other forums I frequent and keep a look out.

I'm not even a big AAL fan, but this is BULLSHIT, same goes with the Boston incident.

Good luck to ya'll!

 

[RandyE9]

Are you fucking kidding? That is unreal, sharing this to everybody.

 

[FireInside]

Fucking terrible.

 

[Insanity]

I've had gear stolen from me. I was fucking gutted for months.
But atleast the stuff that got stolen is mostly one of a kind and can easiely identified.

 

[asher]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

but also what Insanity said. Stuff like the Strandies and the Toones are probably going to be super hard to flip - if you don't know wtf they are, you probably won't want them at all, and if you do, well... and even the LACS should be easier to track.

 

[Sephiroth952]

Man as soon as a read the title I knew what was coming...

Spent the last hour scowering ebay and the california craigslist and have found nothing.

Anyone have the color of the blazer? I bet they would be more careless selling that then guitars.

 

[TasmanSam]

Hopefully this will go the same way as the Mike M's PRS 7.

Moron who stole it takes it to guitar center and gets busted.

Lets hope anyway.

 

[metalstrike]

Wow terrible news.

Fucking thieving assholes

 

[DLG]

the car might be a lost cause, probably already stripped, but these guitars should be pretty easy to find, considering the market for them is so niche.

best of luck to the guys, a huge bummer.

 

[AwakenNoMore]

These people should be put to death, populations getting too high, just execute these fuckers.

 

[MetalBuddah]

Once I saw this on facebook I was like "O dear God, don't let somebody have stolen that Hollowbody." Sure enough, the minute I saw that picture in the list of instruments stolen....I raged...HARD. This is seriously fucked up

 

[Levi79]

This is awful. Really hope you find your stuff!
