Just to commiserate a little, I showed up at my storage unit last June 2hrs before a gig only to find my entire PA and lighting rig gone. Same situation, changed lock and management playing dumb. I also thought the same thing - inside job. However no effort of mine or short staffed local police were any help. In fact they had a pretty good idea who did it, however no evidence to connect him to the crime so they couldnt do anything. Insurance told me it wasnt worth claiming because of the deductable and impact to my rates. I never found one piece in local pawn shops or Craigslist. Basically took $5K in the shorts
Gary's is however much worse because of the sheer magetude of 20+ collector instruments - yeow. I always think that an auction that is too good to be true is likely the result of some poor victim somewhere. I just laugh sometimes at these "estate finds" or rare collectables where the seller states they don't really know much about the item. I mean how many 4080's are just going to end up with a seller who doesn't know much about it, yet is asking full price?
Best of luck in getting as many back as you can and thanks for the vigilance of this community!
