I think we can all agree that this is getting ridiculous.

WTF. It's just obscene how much this is happening. Was just getting into La Dispute too.

is theft really more rampant now, or is it just being publicized more now?

Quite possibly now that there's been a string of news reports on theft, a lot more people consider it newsworthy and are posting this kind of stuff when they otherwise wouldn't.

Then again it could just be coincidence.

Either way this sucks big-time.

...and to think a few weeks back some Sputnik user was arguing the point that there wasn't that much
band theft going on.

and secondly, Ann Arbor is a few miles from where I live and it's a very nice city. I'm surprised some
people would do that to another Michigan band.

its the bad michigan economy. we dont have the money to buy their merch, so someone just steals things and uses them to keep their garbage can fires going a little longer, it's nothing personal, It's just survival...

^^Probably not, but I bet if they knew them personally then it wouldn't have happened. Bands need to visit jails to get their name out there. Kinda like the St. Anger video, except without the shitty music.

ok first of all, its not like everyone in Michigan steals band gear. RHCP and La Dispute were robbed by the small minority that make the rest of us look like fucktards. It blows.......

The funny thing is, in technical terms, none of these bands were ever robbed. They were burgalized.

"We should start a pool and place bets on who this happens to next... turn this shit into a lil game..."

not funny

i think its ridiculous that this is happening so often now (and if its just news it still sucks), but then again i dont remember the band name but i do remember a band getting their trailer mugged wile they were in it, so bands that go to dangerous places should keep a closer eye on their personal belongings imo

retarded this has become

its all good man don't worry bout it , but yeah i didn't remember it was anberlin, and i meant to say bus lol, its fucking ridiculous how this also seems to happen to talented bands, unlike emmure, although thinking about it, anyone who touches emmure's instruments or merch or even breaths the same air they do will be hexed for life lol

hardcore kids in crews and stuff steal shitloads too. it wouldn't surprise me if something like that was involved or just some stupid faux-tough guys trying to make their penises feel bigger.

I don't see the big deal about this. I only got about 15 shirts and a few cds before I got chased off. Lay off.

considering the place they were playing was in a frat house in brosville ann arbor, it was more likely a bunch of fags at the show and not some ghetto thugs or whatever. lots of douche baggery
