Animals As Leaders truck, guitars stolen
Sunday, June 17, 2012 7:52 AM PT
Animals As Leaders has revealed that they had a vehicle, ten guitars stolen, amplifiers, and other equipment stolen in Los Angeles. The band has issued the following statement:
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.
"We're adding an album containing photos and detailed descriptions of the stolen gear to our profile. Please take a look and keep your eyes open for anything that looks close to this stuff. I truly think that with your help we have an exponentially better chance of tracking some of this down."
UPDATE: Animals As Leaders recover stolen vehicle, guitar anonymous

That sucks. Have you considered not living in SoCal? The rest of the country doesn't have over 100,000 active gang members like LA County does.

It's not clear in the story, that's the case. Likely, yes, but not clear. Poorly written/worded statement.

I know this is to much to digest for most of you trolls, but it wouldn't suprise me at all if the establishment did this in response to Javiers legal issues and hte petition.

Agreed, people are just too ignorant. 9/11 was actually retaliation by middle east women because the world trade center towers look like erect penises and they hate men.

one of my guitars came back to me randomly after being stolen for a year. tweaker stole it from a bar and then sold it to some punk kid for $200 (Gibson SG). Friend of mine who sells pot spotted it and bought it back from him. miracles occasionally do happen.
