Sony DJ Headphones and Stanton cartridges and stylus 

I never got my DJ equipment, but paid $300.00 for it!!!
Over the summer I met DJ Spankalicious or DJ Spank, as he is also known. This was at Johnny's Pourhouse in Warrensburg, Missouri. I am a trusting soul and have a slight mental illness and was taken advantage of and am upset... to say the least. He sent me down the "primrose path", telling me how he was interested in helping me learn to DJ and that he worked at "Musician's Friend" and could get me a great discount on DJ equipment. I told him how I was into DJ Shadow and UNKLE and wanted to make music like that. He was "totally down with that". I trusted him and gavwe him the three hundred dollars for the DJ equipment I was missing (still am). He then disappeared a couple of weeks later. That was the summer. Then in early fall he showed up again at the same venue, "Johnny's Pourhouse" and told me he'd have the equipment for me the next week. I went back with a friend and he told me that he would give me his girlfriend's cell phone number, because "he lost his". I went back the next week and he gave me the bag with "the equipment" in side of it. When opened I found out the the stylus didn't even have a functioning needle in it. He told me after I went back furious that he had the equipment, but his friend (who was with him) "had left it at home in the other bag". I made up a contract that I had him sign, but the next week when I was supposed to collect on the equipment or take it to the police... I had some medicine that was adverse and was too sick to collect. I found out he's not there... once again. I would like someone to help me get this guy and get my stuff. I can not offer much. I do not have a job yet, because I graduated and am in another town. As soon as I get a job I believe I can offer $20.00 dollars American. I know it's not much and I really would like to offer more, because I think this is a great cause, but the money's not there. My email is: essei_7@yahoo.com Thank you, Jesse

1979 IBANEZ ICEMAN.... MAHOGANY SUNBURST , CREAM BINDING , FLYING LADY PICK UPS 

Rare 1979 Ibanez Iceman .Stolen from my recording studio , Leamington Spa . U.K. around April 7th 2007
My beloved , rare Ibanez Iceman , 1979 vintage was stolen from my recording studio/rehearsal rooms in Leamington Spa , along with my Yamaha RBX 4 string bass, green , gold fittings , and two other guitars , an acoustic , cheap one , and a fretless bass , pink fender squire body/fretless neck. It is the Iceman that i am really worried about . I've had it for 26 years, so has immense personal value. I'd know this guitar anywhere , the back is quite buckle scratched and it has a chip in the laquer down to the wood around the jack socket . It is in the rarer mahogany sunburst , has the original flying lady pick-ups , and has a black toggle switch , usually they were cream , but i replaced it recently. It went complete with its fitted case which has grey pile lining. Unfortunately i never wrote down the serial number.............idiot ! But as i say , i'd know this guitar anywhere , so please , if anyone has any info i would be most grateful . I'm not a wealthy guy , so i cannot put up a great deal of reward , just my eternal gratitude. I'm not anticipating seeing it ever again , but posting on here might get some result i guess as its quite an unusual guitar.

Taylor 310, 1998 

Waltham, Massachusetts on December 30th at 12:30am
Saturday morning at around 1230am my much beloved '98 Taylor 310 was stolen. I was leaving a gig in Waltham Massachusetts and I stopped at a Store 24. In the short time I was in the store someone helped them self to my instrument. Anyhow, I'm just trying to cover all of my bases in the extremely remote chance that someone tries to sell you this instrument. Taylor 310 Serial #981014007 Just installed K&K pick ups in it. I'm desparate to get the guitar back. I'd be willing to pay top dollar for it. It has tons of sentimental value (some of the money I used to pay for it was an inheritence from my grandfather). Ok, thanks very much for any assistance you may offer. All the best and Happy New Year. Please call me at 781/405/5452 if you have any information. -Andy

It was a Mexican Fender Stratocaster 

Black Stratocaster, stolen December 2005
It was a black Mexican Fender Stratocaster. I got a black pickguard for it so it appeared all black. I thought "why not?" at the time. Well I had earlier finished a performance of sorts at my school. Having left it on stage along with the rest of the equipment from other performers, I found my Fender case after school empty with only the pick remaining. Anyways, I miss it. It's only the second thing I've ever had stolen or something. Tell me if you see it
