Hello everyone,
<br>
<br>Monday morning (May 12th, 2008) at 5:25am our rehearsal space was broken into.  It was located at Public Storage 10001 N. IH35 (northbound side), Austin, TX, Unit 9030.  All we have to go off of are some fuzzy pictures from the video cameras...
<br>
<br><b>Vehicle:</b>  A maroon or brown tall station wagon (a little smaller than a minivan, likely an '84 Toyota Tercel) with horizonal front headlights and vertical tail lights, seems to have a cargo rack or some other white thing on top. 
<br>Click for security camera shots: <a href="car/car.html"><img src="car-mini.bmp"></a>    Looks like this car, but maroon/brown: <a href="84tercel.jpg"><img src="84tercel.jpg" width="10%"></a><i>--All pictures can be clicked on to zoom</i>
<br>
<br><b>Suspects:</b> They were two medium-build hispanic men, one was in a black tanktop with a black fro/mullet thing and black sunglasses on his head, ~5ft10; the other was in all white (STUPID) with a red cap with white writing, ~6ft

<br>
<br>Please keep an eye out for the following gear in <b>pawn shops, hock shops, music stores, Craig's List, eBay, </b> etc, even <b>other bands</b> in the Austin/San Antonio/San Marcos/Killeen/Waco areas (or further?).  Please take about 5 minutes out of your day to check at least one of these places...
<br>
<br><b>***PLEASE forward this to as many people as possible!!***</b>  It would be great if we could recover our gear, but even better if we can CATCH these people.
<br>
<br>Meanwhile we will continue to bring you the TCoil Rock, we will just have to borrow gear.

<br><u>This is what was stolen from us:</u>
<br>The keytar should be the biggest give-away; look for tape residue, etc. And the rim of the thumb button is filed by hand.  Even if they do get the tape cleaned off, that button will give it away in a heartbeat.  Besides, they're discontinued and such a rare item, anyway.
