I 've got my Sterling STOLEN ..

[Musicman Nut]

So police is on it s waythere ... should i still email the pawn shop with my receite?

I'd Fax a Hard Copy of it, but wait til the police give you the ok, I'm not 100% sure these Pawn Brokers are on the up and up yet

 

[Jean-Frédéric]

I'd definately do that - it's a proof of ownership, and that it is YOUR bass!

thing is police are on their way there , they could say " well here I have a copy of the papers here so it's mine now" i dunno ..

everyone voice up and will take the majority , hurray for democracy ..


oh and by the way .. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU GUYS , means so much

Personaly I don't think I'd fax it to the pawnshop, I'd fax it to the police. The police and the pawnshop know it is stolen so sending the pawnshop the receipt is pointless. Man I hope this works out.

In the meantime, has anyone used eBay to let the winning bidder of this auction know they are buying a stolen bass? Maybe the winning bidder would retract their bid if pointed to this thread and see this is stolen property.

Just a thought anyway.

Posession is 9/10ths of the law. Hopefully you filed a police report back in May when you originally started this thread.

Also another idea if the police aren't too helpful; contact the media. No one likes it when channel 9 shows up asking questions.

I spoke to Buck Owens this morning, and he insists he is currently lifeless and unable to complete financial transactions.

I agree with providing the receipt to the police instead of the pawnbroker.

Jack, that one sentence is the best laugh I've had all week. Thanks for that!

Yes,
I sent the living Buck Owens a private message explaining that the bass was stolen and to refer to this thread if he had any questions but I got no response.

I'm very glad JF has shown up and hope this works out for him...

Well the real Buck Owens Past away early this year, sad to say, but good Job for Jack taking care of that.

Actually, it's more like a classic dead bidder.

good thing that buck's spirit still talks from the grave

I also want to hear people singing the praises for the pawn shop that is willing to do the right thing. You can imagine that they are taking a hit on having to return this bass. If there is a way we could find their inventory, I would like to buy something. I would suggest that everyone here do the same. This is a business we should support.

absolutely, I was thinking of that yesterday. as funky as the place is, if they do give it back that'd be upstanding of them.

 

[Psychicpet]

BTW, good to see you J-F!!

 

[CodeMonkey]

I really hope that if one of my guitars were stolen, I'd get support from people the way you guys are supporting JF. Unfortunately, I don't play an MM (yet) so who knows what kind of response I'd get on the "other" guitar company's forums.

<------- Holding his breath... C'mon God, just a little help here!
