Man I feel your pain on the stolen guitar thing... I had one of my Pacer Carerras taken from me after a show. 300 people and no one could say who did it... Go figure. They weren't too smart though, because it was obvious they took it on looks alone, because my San Dimas Charvel with beat to hell paint was sitting right next to it. On any given day the SD could fetch around a grand even in the shape it's in, which is excellent in my opinion. I like the paint :)
