Hey all , you may know my rec. studio - Zero Gravity on Tennyson ave. We had a burglary the other day and some key componants were snatched.M***** F*****s . I'd like to get the stuff back as it's more than just gear value. Primarily my amps for my main Genelec 1038's. They are a black rackmount panal 1' x 1.5' with massive transformers and molex connectors with Genelec 1038 clearly marked. These are of no use to anyone without the mating speaker enclosures.. More missing items to follow once the insurance folks and cops are done sifting thru the remains. Macs , mics and other things. And yes there is a reward. I appreciate everyones support so far! I really do! Info? Call me: 250.294.3670 , It's Rob.
Thanx!! - Wed, 25 Apr 2007 11:08pm

It's Lance, man I haven’t seen you in awhile?

AND Un fucking believable Rob?!!

Weeell, no , maybe it is believable, because I had my house broken in to not so long ago. And also a crack friend who stole off me.
So I don’t trust anyone much now , plus most people I know are pieces of shit, so it‘s all good . Or that’s what they keep telling me. Anyfuknwho sorry to hear this bro, and I hope you get the stuff back. But it‘s probably going up in smoke as I type this. I hope you don’t get ass raped by the insurance company, that’s what happened to us .

Geez Mr Dredd you have me at some what of a disadvantage not knowing who I'm talking too? But since you snivelled about me saying MOST people are pieces of shit after being broken into and things going missing around my house I've arrived at this conclusion, that coupled with my hatred for humankind in general, mostly meant tongue and cheek. So sorry if I put you (who ever you are?) on the shit list , I’ll be sure to move your name right on the dick list. And may I say those are some very slanderous remarks you’ve made. - Fri, 4 May 2007 10:58am

My gibberish decoder isn't working. What'd he say? Does this place still have the SSL and the Otari? Is it even still open? What mics went missing? Maybe put up a list of things that went missing. Stuff like that sometimes tends to "find" us sound geeks out there (I've helped people get stuff back before). - Fri, 4 May 2007 11:23am Edited: Fri, 4 May 2007 11:24am

Directed to XY-SATAN100 - Yea I guess when you put it that way my apologies since it was said tounge and cheek and shouldn't have lashed out on ya, just upset about the whole thing and as for slandereous remarks.....well lets just say I know whats true and wouldn't say it unless I was 100% positive. I guess it just pushes my buttons when its one thing to steal, but another to stealand play the duck, and have others feel sympathy for you. Not a very good character. But I guess its done and over and nothing to happen except for karma to catch up to you-know-who. You dug your grave so lie in it thief. - Fri, 4 May 2007 1:18pm

I am curious to know what proof you have to back up your claim about Rob. If it was true, it would be good to know so no one were to waste their time looking for and inquiring about the items around town. - Sun, 6 May 2007 3:45pm

Good to hear you got some items back Rob.

Care to post a list of what exactly has been stolen and/or returned? Like Zipp says alot of people look here that might be offered some of these items on the blackmarket and would help in retrieving them for you .. - Thu, 17 May 2007 1:49pm

Well the recovered items weren't mine unfortunatly but my current tennants. I don't have a list of there missing items , I however do know that a Mac dual G-5 with flat panel was swiped as well as other assorted laptops and desktops.They are from The Quantum Alliance. For me , 2 pwr amps some inexspensive mics but most importantly my Genelec 1038A power amps.It's looking as though my insurance is not going to cover this.Brutal. A short discription of the Gen amps : 2' x 1.2' black rackmount sheet metal with exposed electronics on the reverse side utilizing several multipin molex connections to speakers. GENELEC 1038 clearly marked on the face along side of several dip switches. There are two of them (right side, left side , respectivly). If anyone knows of there whereabouts I will gladly pay a reward! Thanks again everyone!

Are you serious Rob? I'm on a hiatus from work for a few months and haven't talked to anyone so haven't heard about this yet - please tell me they didn't nab the staff computers. That would SUCK! When did this happen?

Without getting into specific companies or whatnot, can you perhaps let us know why the insurance company will not cover it? I'm in the process of looking into insurance for a similar venture and would like to know what the hangup is. Email me if you perfer... - Fri, 18 May 2007 6:10pm

On another note, any SOCAN members can get gear insurance and home studio insurance. Affordable with payment plans available.

Of course a commercial venture would just get regular business insurance but from what Ive found almost nobody wants to insure gear privately.

And SOCAN is free and easy to join. - Fri, 18 May 2007 8:18pm

eff socan and their live music fees. I'm glad that stuff isn't really enforced on small promoters, because it would make it even more difficult to break even when putting on outside-the-mainstream all ages shows. - Tue, 22 May 2007 12:49pm

Im not sure it would be.. the money comes from nightclub licences, businesses (ie; malls, restaraunts) that play canned music, blank CD tarriffs etc. IF a small time promoter got a business licence perhaps a percentage would go to SOCAN due to it being an entertainment licence, but Ive never heard of them going after individual un-licenced promoters even though bands can get SOCAN royalties for every live song they play if they can prove admission was over $6 and submit their song lists.

And you say eff Socan.. Fine but then.. eff the royalties they pay out when college stations play your crappy demo. eff the cheap insurance for gear no insurance company in their right mind would touch, eff the rental replacements when you get your van stolen in mid-tour, eff the money they pay out for every single show you play live over $6. (about $2-$5 per song x 10+ songs per gig, can equal $30-$50 per gig) Consider your band plays 10 gigs within the quarter, thats a few hundred bucks they will send you a year later.. all you have to do is fill in your song lists and email them a ticket stub or poster copy or whatever to prove $6 admission.

and do they pay you ask? why yes, they do pay. - Tue, 22 May 2007 2:53pm Edited: Tue, 22 May 2007 2:55pm

Buwhahaa.........what a joke this whole sherade !!! I am so disgusted with your actions I can't even state my disgust. I know for a fact no one has been arrested, and only 1 item was retrieved and we know how that happened. Pathetic! - Thu, 24 May 2007 3:28pm Edited: Thu, 24 May 2007 3:30pm

"and only 1 item was retrieved and we know how that happened"

Nope, no idea, why don't you tell us?

Plus you never said who you are, so till then whatever you say means squat. And who the fuck cares about your backhanded apology? Who the fuck are you that I care?
And I’ll drop a bombshell on you pal… I dislike most of the people in the scene.
I MORE then pay for my way in the scene, tell me what you’ve done for ME before you give me shit for saying what I feel.


See, you prove a point .

You’re shit for getting overly offended/offensive for nothing.

Hey, your statements may be true for all I know. I have no feelings or surprise either way. - Thu, 24 May 2007 5:48pm Edited: Thu, 24 May 2007 6:00pm

Alrighty then......Well next time I see you Lance I will let you know who I am and explain the circumstances, which I am sure you will see how the proof is overwhelming. By the way my apology was not back handed but sincere, and take my word for it if you got a backhanded apology or ANYTHING backhanded from me you would know it. More than just myself got offended with what you said, since they considered themselves to be your friends, and encouraged me to say something to that effect when I was posting my statement about the theft and the guilty party. So since it was not just I who took offense to the remarks, and I think that shows I am not a "shit for getting overly offended/offensive for nothing"

I am done in this posting...to much drama for me

"...All the evidence points to the person who started this posting. Deny it all you want but not just I know it as well..."

umm im going out on a limb here mostly cuz i have no formal knowledge of what really happened; but what difference is it to you mr. judge dredd?(worst possible name ever to accompany the worst movie ever... but that's besides the point) whether or not it IS an insurance scam; what the hell does it have to do with you and why be such a little B***** about it? And on the other side of the coin, what IF you are wrong in your "knowledge"(albeit limited) and it WAS actually a break-in and shit DID get stolen? what difference does it make to you?
now, as i said before; I have NO formal knowledge of what "really" happened. But from what I've read of your maniacal postings; you seem to have your panties in a knot for what reason? I know you may be friends with others on this thread; but why be such a dick here? Just because someone generalzed "people" as being crappy and untrustful shouldn't really bother you. Cuz if we ever meet; rest assured you'd have to earn my trust. - Fri, 13 Jul 2007 1:03pm

I'm one of the partners of the main company in the building that was ripped off and will share that we have not recovered the 'gear' but there *is* speculation as to who did this and it's not pointing in the direction of the person you think. It was an unfortunate event, nonetheless, we've taken some action on protecting the building so this won't happen again. - Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:59pm
