wow, it's been quite a week for stolen-Ric recovery!

That actually gives me hope about "the system" and good will in general (in Peter Buck's case). Stolen guitars are usually gone to the wind...dissapear into some closet or whatever. I would imagine they are much easier to hide than a Car with a vin# etc...

Glad that it was recovered.

Just remember that in Texas, the phrase "Get A Rope!" fits the situation.

That's great news!!!
Ask him to register his guitar and add some pics, hopefully it will not get stolen again, but just in case...
So long and thanks for all the fish!
