Animals as Leaders gear stolen 2012-06-17 by Puzzles | 79 Replies | 3256 Views |
Animals as Leaders recently posted on their Facebook page that a large amount of their gear had been stolen from their LA home while on tour.
"We've got some pretty terrible news to report. Upon returning home to our house in LA we discovered that we'd been robbed while were out on tour. The thieves were able to get away with Javier's Chevy Blazer and all of the equipment we didn't have on tour with us. 10 guitars in total. This includes many of our one of a kind custom instruments (Stranberg,Rick Toone ) as well as amplifiers, PA equipment and personal items.
This is beyond devastating. We know so many of you have been beyond supportive with Javier's legal troubles. We may need more of your help now to potentially find some of these one of a kind instruments that may pop up on Ebay, Craigslist, pawn shops, used music stores etc. "
The band have added a detailed description and pictures of the stolen gear on their Facebook page and has urged anyone with information about the stolen gear to contact them at animalsgear@gmail.com.
This tragedy comes after the much talked about conflict between guitarist Javier Reyes and Los Angeles police.

surely they should get it back for nothing?
EDIT: you probably mean buy new equipment *duh*

No I was. It sucks when these things happen and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for any of their gear.

These guys don't deserve the bullshit that's been coming their way on this tour. I wish the best for them.
|

That is terrible, amazing band too, no one deserves that. Hope these guys get the restitution they need.

This whole band has been caught in quite an unlucky streak lately. It's a shame really, since they certainly don't deserve it (nobody does, really, but this is happening when they are already having problems) at all. If it wasn't as personal and one-of-a-kind then I suppose the circumstances would be different (still bad, but less so) but the fact that they were personal and unique just adds to the level of messed up this is. Best of luck to the band trying to get everything back, as they do not at all deserve it.

God hates this band, apparently. Sucks.

why did they need that many guitars
|
| |
stealing is just low man, scum of the earth type shit
|
| |
At this rate this band won't be able to continue. I remember when I first heard this band a long time ago and they were having to crash at people's houses while on tour. and now all this extra BS happening after they've been reasonably successful. thats pretty awful
|

why is it so difficult for people to comprehend the difference between a robbery and a burglary?
Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather
|
| |
probably cause they are too pissed off they just got their shit stolen
|
| |
because you're an idiot
|
| |
"why is it so difficult for people to comprehend the difference between a robbery and a burglary?"
There is a difference...?
|
| |
Burglary generally implies that a person had to have gained entrance to somewhere in order to commit a theft - breaking and entering etc
|
| |
Ahh okay that makes sense, but should it really be an issue to people who aren't law enforcement officers?
|
| |
ok guys 66 comments - only 600 more then I can make a really fucking stupid comment
|
| |
Fuck thieves
|
| |
Puzzles spare us the wait and share the joke I won't think any less of you.
|
| |
Why can thieves not steal from shitty bands?
|
| |
fucking sucks hard, why would you even stoop that low?
|
| |
This band has had a lot of adversity to deal with. Arrests, robberies, and shitty sound technicians at their concerts.
|
| |
And they were still awesome on Saturday night. Such professionals. I have so much respect for them. What a really terrible situation they've had to endure the last couple of weeks. Amazingly through all of this Tosin mentioned that the tour they were on was probably the best they've ever been on. Must be weird to have such highs and lows at the same time. I hope the gear is found, hopefully it helps that their gear is so unique...

It's heart-wrenching to see all this shitty stuff happen to brilliant, and humble people.
Whoever did this is true scum.

Good news (if you haven't found out yet), They found the Chevy Blazer and one of the guitars.
