A couple Ricks and other nice stuff in that batch. I'm actually surprised Anton hadn't sold off much of that gear for drugs already.

A year or so ago, Over The Rhine had all their gear stolen. Frank Black lost his stuff -including some 50s Teles a few years before that.
The Church lost a fortune in gear from their manager's office around '90, among the items stolen were some irreplaceable Rics (Capris, 1993s).
Absconding with a musician's instruments not only robs them of the tools of their trade but also takes away the conduit of their art. I, like many artists, compose on different instruments and I'm VERY attached to the guitars I own. At the risk of coming off like a Seattle street preacher, there is an undeniable imbuement and connection between a musician and his/her instrument of choice.
To take that away is unforgiveable.
