Crobot fall victim to trailer theft, large amount of equipment stolen

crobot

Over the weekend someone made off with Crobot's trailer full of their gear. The band's van had been parked in a residential neighborhood when a small red pickup truck appears alongside and seemingly disconnects the trailer and makes off with the band's gear.

Crobot is asking for help in locating their stolen van. Residents in Austin, TX should be on the lookout for a white trailer with Pennsylvania plates with ZNG9107. There has also been a GoFundMe created to help cover the band's losses.

A list of the stolen items was also provided on the band's GoFundMe page:

Someone stole Crobot's trailer. Their guitars are safe, but they lost all their amplifiers, PA, monitors, drums, trailer, and a whole lot more.

Brandon, Bishop, Tim, and Dan know their fans will come through so they can get back to what they do best.

Can't thank you enough!

Proceeds will go towards new equipment. Below is the full list of everything stolen.

Too bad they didn't steal the camera before those band pics were taken.

Austin resident here. was the address? This is a stand-your-ground state. Most crooks stay out of residential areas. What really happened here?

anonymous 11/28/2022 8:38:46 AM

What was the address? What neighborhood?

VodkaVeins 11/28/2022 8:47:07 AM

Surprise, surprise...band that wears clothes like that doesn't know how to secure a trailer hitch.

Austin, TX the new San Fran.

anonymous 11/28/2022 8:47:43 AM

Harmonicas? LMAO

anonymous 11/28/2022 8:57:54 AM

I guess Austin didn't get the memo that said "Don't California our Texas."

PoultryInMotion 11/28/2022 9:08:23 AM

Austin was California'd...BEFORE IT WAS COOL

Did the ice cream cones get stolen too?

I just saw Johnny Nobody this morning playing the harmonica and dressed like a strung out gypsy. I think it was just a coincidence though.

"Crobot is asking for help in locating their stolen van. " proofread fail

That footage of the escape was hilarious.

I read on insta that the new thing a lot of the newer gen z upstart bands are doing with their trailers is renting a pitching machine before the tour and loading it in the back. The thief gets out the bolt cutters and opens the trailer but he didn't know the pitching machine was back there, also it is not filled with baseballs but the band and roadies all jacked off into it so automatically the thief gets hit right in the face with nice, hot cum.

anonymous 11/28/2022 11:45:28 AM

^ likes to steal things just for the cum.

anonymous 11/28/2022 12:42:29 PM

Getting a DDrum kit stolen is actually a blessing in disguise, put up that go fund me and have your fans buy you a dw collectors, big come up

anonymous 11/28/2022 3:22:29 PM

This is a dumb band name. Call your band meat potato instead.

anonymous 11/28/2022 4:09:22 PM

Classic move. Get a buddy to jack your shit, then launch a Gofundme for new gear.

anonymous 11/28/2022 5:14:58 PM

I DID IT BROTHER, IT WAS MEEEEEEEEEEE

anonymous 11/28/2022 6:14:15 PM

Most shocking part is that these zany juggler-types don't tour in a school bus with a wacky paint job or like a four-seater bicycle or some dumb shit like that.

anonymous 11/28/2022 6:15:41 PM

What happens if you get your stuff back? Will you give money back to the fools who gave you money cuz you don't lock your hitch??

anonymous 11/28/2022 7:48:18 PM

As luck would have it I have a 22×20 kick drum with Crobot ice cream logo head for sale

anonymous 11/29/2022 9:18:37 AM

Put this band in prison for faking a crime and committing fraud.

anonymous 11/30/2022 7:24:35 AM
