New member chiming in today. I've known Abbott since high school and remember when he bought his Ric new back in '80. When it was stolen last year this motivated me to video and document all household items and instruments. When he got it back recently (thanks to this forum) I was motivated once again and registered my 4003 Blueburst. There was some controversy on the old PRS forum when a member made an announcement that he had been lifting everyone's jpeg's, created a database and then asked for the serial numbers he was missing to match them up with the profiles, etc.
I did not participate in that fiasco but at least on this forum, and with Abbott’s positive experience I can honestly say that our instruments are registered in a safe haven…I still can’t believe he got it back after a year, what great luck
Happy Holidays To All
