I just checked Craig's List here (Denver). No luck but hopefully it will show up somewhere.

I suppose this is a good reason for all of us to have pics and other proof of ownership.

A hanging issue?

I'd say that would be as much a capital crime as horse theft any day!

Very Sorry to hear this. Any such Mullen that appears up here at any shows or conventions in Western New York will get you a call as well. Wishing you the best of luck in catching this or these idiots. Best Regards. Zeke

:x Del, I had a Gibson Les Paul Kalamazoo stolen from the stage of the High Sierra Casino in Lake Tahoe back in 1979 when I went to get my Van and I never got over it I still have a picture of it with me playing it. It's like losing a family member. I surely hope you get it back.

Del,
I don't know if this will help but it may be worth a try. This service posts lists of stolen instruments on facebook and twitter, and they say that pawn shops check the list.

I just hope the slug hasn't secured a bleeding heart libbie lawyer that will say; "it's not his fault, his daddy spanked him as a child". Happy for you, DOC.

Actually, Guitar Center is pretty keen on stolen gear...The perp left his drivers license number per store policy, the guitar is safe and unharmed. The authorities are already on the case...Del should get it back in a day or two...Again, on behalf of Del, thanks for your support guys..Im sure he will post this evening as well...
