American Me Robbed 2009-11-22 by Slimjim367 | 25 Comments | American Me's van was robbed this weekend, and all of their equipment including their merch was stolen. The band released this statement:
"We woke up at about 7:30am this morning to find our trailer door wide open. We went to bed around 4:30am this morning at our manager's house in Antelope, California, a suburb of Sacramento. If you have any information regarding this, or live in the area, please let us know if you hear of anything! Any leads would help, because we will NOT be able to replace some of these things. We literally JUST GOT two guitars and a bass about 4 days ago, and some of our equipment is no longer in production, so if we can't get them back; they cannot be replaced. We were shocked that this happened a matter of feet away from the windows to rooms we all slept in. We didn't hear anything and have filed a police report.
"We will be checking all local pawn shops. We really just need any information on how to get our equipment back. We will now have to figure out how to keep our trailer secure, seeing as the latch was CUT open. We have a perfectly good lock, untouched, that can't be used because the latch was cut off. Also we will NOT be able to practice when we get home because we won't have equipment to actually play on. My apologies about the rant, we are just simply at a loss for what just happened. here is a list of what was taken from us:
ESP LTD M305 (RED) Guitar
Schecter Solo 6 (BLACK) Guitar
Schecter S1 Elite (GREY) Guitar
Schecter Solo 6 (WHITE) Guitar
Schecter Stilletto Elite 5 (see-through Black) Bass
Line 6 X2 Wireless Transmitter
Peavey 5150 Guitar Amp Head
Peavey 6505 Plus Guitar Amp Head
"AND a full bin of merch that we still owe money on! (we found the bin, but it was empty)."

shitty deal, wtf is with all the thefts this year? seems like there has been a lot.
| | |
I swear...to have just started a band myself, this is really discouraging.
| | |
yeah, seems like this year has been full of band thievery. poor guys
| | |
Not bad equipment. Hope they find it soon.
| | |
Damn double post.
| | |
They need to buy car alarms, seriously why hasn't anyone thought of this.
| | |
yeah I'm seeing a lot of theft posts on here, sucks
| | |
Keep pit bulls with removed vocal cords in your van when you are out.
| | |
well as the economy goes down thefts increase. and car alarms? when was the last time those did anything, whenever they go off nobody goes to the car. they are just annoyingly loud. this fucking sucks though.
| | |
One word: Doberman. No more thefts
| | |
This blows bigtime, I like these guys. Sucks.
| | |
Yeah, hope they bust the thief soon, not counting on it though
| | |
fuck people who steal from bands.
| | |
this sucks

wonder what they'll do
| | |
Sucks.
| | |
Where in the world are they going to be able to find Schecters to play!?
| | |
my house

when was the last time those did anything, whenever they go off nobody goes to the car.
When it's you car I think you'd care just a little bit, even if it was nothing. If they had an alarm loud enough to wake them up when they were sleeping, this could have been averted.
They should get a customized alarm for their trailor that yells "HEY SOMEONES ROBBING AMERICAN ME AGAIN" really loudly. That'd scare the shit out of would-be crooks.
| | |
ah!
| | |

Lmfao. Anyway, this fucking sucks, they just released their new album and they already are broke. Man...
| | |
Thats Terrible! I know what its like to be in a metal band and be broke.
| | |
Not everyone can afford car alarms, you have to go with what you got.
| | |
thier label should pay for one lol
| | |
Lol.
| | |
have they found it?
