The news article is dated May 2nd of this year?

Perhaps they just made the serial numbers public? In any case, it's good to have them here since we can list the Ricks as stolen in The Register...

That is correct Ben... The info was posted to a number of other guitar forums, but none connected to Rickenbackers, which is odd considering the number stolen...

I added them all to the Register as stolen instruments, except the DG 620 which is in already as an abandoned entry.. If Peter or Gil can mark that one as stolen as well...

It was clearly a professional heist - they cleared out a local Taylor dealer of 40 guitars the same night...

Well, professional but not smart

At least they scored with the guitars from Willie's.

(apologies to Taylor fans....)

The thieves were probably planning to trade them in for new E-Meters.
