No offense to other security guards out there, but I guess there's a reason this guy wasn't working in brain science or rocket surgery. :lol:

Reported on the Los Angelels television news last evening, it was the Security Guard who was arrested for stealing the guitars. :( :shock: I have to say it is amazing all the press/media coverage this received and no doubt played a part in the recovery.

One slight correction: The stolen Ric was a 1967 MG 360/12 rather than a 1966. :oops:

Publicity stunt to draw attention to the tour, maybe? :lol: :wink:
