Fat Freddys Drop member Joe Lindsay has had his vintage trombone stolen. The 1952 horn and a box of records were stolen from his car in Grey Lynn early last Saturday morning.
We got Jimmy Christmas' guitar back a few years ago, so maybe this time too...

indeed, we were talking about this yesterday in fact...
Back in the 20th Century I had this big, heavy bass speaker that I hauled around the city in my girlfriend's VW. Getting it into and out of the back seat was an exercise in both spatial awareness and brute strength - kinda like doing a giant rubic's cube. Lift, turn it a bit, push the seat forward, twist it a bit more, squash fingers between doorframe and speaker, tilt forward, rotate, etc...
So, one night after practice, I parked the dubby in the (open-to-the-street) garage. We were going on tour first thing in the morning, and the thought of another five minute manipulation session and lugging the whole thing up the steps to the flat left me flat, so I thought to myself 'any thief who can get the thing out of there can have it.'
and they bloody well did.

I had finished a gig at a pub, stayed until closing time, and was leaving for home......but (for whatever reason) forgot to load my amp into the cab. Worse, I didn't realise this until late the next morning, so my amp was sitting outside a pub all night and all morning just waiting for someone to take it.
And no-one did. Next afternoon, there it was--exactly where I'd left it.
At the time, I thought "This would never have been the case in NZ".
I did that once too. I left my amp and ...
I did that once too. I left my amp and guitar on the footpath in central wellington when I got out of a cab outside where I was staying. It was still there in the morning too, and people had been up and down the street all night. I thought at the time "this would never be the case overseas"
