glen Santics User Info... | Early Saturday morning - Feb 6, 2010 James Bay, Victoria, B.C....Gretsch Renown Maple drum set. Silver Slate Sparkle. 20"x22" Kick, 12" Rack Tom, 16" Floor Tom all in soft Voyager cases. Also, 2-50' Yellow and Black extensions cords and 2- 25' orange retractable extension cords.

bbjones User Info... | Sucks. Do you mind sharing how it was stolen so the rest of us can try to prevent the same scenario? - Tue, 9 Feb 2010 8:54am | ||
glen Santics User Info... | It seems stupid now...but I left the gear in my car after playing and tearing down...I arrived home at 3:30 am and didn't think anyone would be out to break in to cars at that time! I know there are other musicians out there that aren't unpacking their cars - so this is a heads up! To the person that stole my gear, I don't care how desperate you are, you do not have a right to steal what someone else has worked hard to afford and achieve and there is a reason why you are doing what you are doing - you are a loser! Do everyone a favour and just disappear! - Tue, 9 Feb 2010 6:30pm | ||
glen santics User Info... | My thoughts exactly...I hope to get my stuff back...and then the bad karma can take its revenge on the scum that stole my stuff! Hopefully other musicians out there feel the same way and if they run across my gear they will let me know...the next time it might be their stuff that gets stolen so the more we look out for each other and catch these parasites the better it will be for all of us! I would not play in a band with anyone who would steal from another musician...so if you are at a practise or a jam and run across my gear, have a conscience and do the right thing and report the bastard! - Wed, 10 Feb 2010 7:22pm Edited: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 7:23pm | ||

Name / Alias User Info... | "I arrived home at 3:30 am and didn't think anyone would be out to break in to cars at that time!" Um, what time do you think most criminals are out & about? I think recently they extended the criminal curfew to 4:00 am. A half hour later & you would have been fine! But seriously, that sucks to have your gear ganked (actually, I like having my gear ganked from time to time)! I hope you get it back, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath on it. Oh, & Lucius posted some very excellent advice in the "General Chitchat" section. - Sun, 14 Feb 2010 9:02am Edited: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 9:06am | ||
glen Santics User Info... | Well...I guess my thoughts were it seems a little late for anyone to be up and about...unless your downtown at Dennys after an all night bar binge, or a musician arriving home after playing till 1:00 and tearing down etc etc... It seems prety quiet around 3:30-4:00 in the morning, but you're right, it only takes one fuck-up to cause a whole lotta grief and cost you a whole lotta money!!! So lesson learned...unpack your gear from the car no matter how tired! - Sun, 14 Feb 2010 9:37am | ||

glen Santics User Info... | Thanks for keeping an eye open! I appreciate it! I saw this ad and it is a Catalina Club and mine is/was a Renown Maple. Similar I know, but different...My bass drum doesn't have a tom mount like the one in the add... - Sun, 21 Feb 2010 8:20pm | ||
Jl User Info... | Yeah, it was the sparkle that caught my eye... but then I also noted that the mounting is different from the pics you have. - Mon, 22 Feb 2010 5:59pm | ||

glen Santics User Info... | NEWS FLASH!! Just got a call from the Saanich Police that they retrieved my drums in a search warrant of some low life that aparrently had a ton of stuff! I don't pick them up until tomorrow at 11:00 am...so hopefully they are mine and not a very similar set! Yee haa! If you're missing some stuff maybe call Saanich! - Wed, 10 Mar 2010 2:08pm | ||
Name / Alias User Info... | Fuck yeah! For once the cops come through. I had my amp stolen years ago & had to track it down & get it back myself. No help from our friends in blue. Hopefully they're yours! - Wed, 10 Mar 2010 8:42pm | ||
shboom User Info... | Glad to hear that. You're one of the lucky ones. I had to deal with Barney Fife and Gomer out in Central Saanich. Look up "useless" in the dictionary, you'll probably see their pictures. - Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:07am | ||
glen Santics User Info... | STOLEN!! NOW RETURNED!! You can't change the title of the post! My drums have been returned...Saanich Police...the powers of intention have worked their magic...Maybe the thiefs tuned them while in their possession, I haven't checked yet...But all looks well, and is as it should be! Still missing those damn extension cords but hey, things could be worse! - Thu, 11 Mar 2010 1:45pm | ||
glen Santics User Info... | WOW! The most viewed post on here! I can't help but think that with this network of people, and this many sets of eyes and ears out there...if anyone has gear stolen it should be spotted, or if anyone needs to sell something, they will be successful! My stuff was returned thanks to Saanich Police, but I'm sure the theives would have had a hard time moving the gear - Cheers! - Mon, 15 Mar 2010 1:06pm | ||
steve User Info... | you'd be surpised.. i buy and sell all kinds of stolen gear. - Mon, 15 Mar 2010 2:55pm | ||
Will User Info... | Well that seems like an incredibly dumb thing to admit to, guess I'm never buying gear from anyone named steve in the future. Happy to hear you got your drums back. Hopefully that creep had enough stuff stacked against him to put him away for a while. - Tue, 16 Mar 2010 7:27pm | ||
steve User Info... | dont worry will.... i'll still be selling your gear.. ps.. i was joking. - Tue, 16 Mar 2010 9:15pm | ||
