Robbing from touring bands like this that make virtually no money off what they do and end up going broke as a result is the most low-down disgusting thing.

They should write a song about the experience and make it the greatest heavy metal ballad of all time.

This is poopy, they should have a show like CSI trying to find their stuff. Then go to Taco Bell after they are done to rejoice their success

to quote the Hostel owner from that movie Eurotrip "If you have any valuables, store them inside your anus, or you will be robbed."

and then later on "in the likely event of a fire, you will be burnt to death, along with the valuables you have stored in your anus"

Haha...I love how all of these people dump shit on Europe...

I remember reading about Strung Out getting robbed...didn't the thieves steal drive off with the entire van? And didn't it happen in the US? Hm...

have seen them on 1st October in Vienna, btw. And it was a great show, though Torche sucked.
and yes, I am from Europe. And I've never robbed anyone ;)
also even to get the idea of comparing Finland and Italy is rather ridiculous, Europe is still made up of a lots of completely different nations.
Italy is a beautiful country and Rome is maybe the most beautiful city in the world (at least the most beautiful I've ever seen, even before Valencia and Barcelona), but nevertheless it's no secret that thievery is pretty common there, but that might be due in large to Italy's completely inefficient political system and shitheads like Berlusconi.

definitely another great band who makes zero money getting the shit end of the stick in this. So far this year you got Cursed, Cephalic Carnage and now Pelican, and countless others in the past.

i'd like to catch someone stealing from a band i loved. man would their balls be sore the next day.

It seems like when bands get robbed, they always have ipods with them....perhaps the robbers are sent by Apple to collect the defective ipods.
