Stolen Gear
« on: August 24, 2010, 09:52:21 AM »
A while back a couple of U87s were stolen from our studio, serials 33373 (half of a stereo pair, OUCH) and 42697.
A police report was filed.  If anyone comes across either, please let me know.  We are in Atlanta GA USA.
Thanks!
Best,
Bruno2000

edit:  A little history of this post.  I messaged Ethan about having this as a Sticky for the community to use when one of your pieces of gear "walked off", and he agreed to give it a try.  It is open for anyone to post so that if it is offered to one of us, or if someone sees it on eBay, the owner can get a 'heads-up".  Comments are also welcomed. /edit:

It maybe  better to p.m. or email questions [ to others ]
to keep this thread clean and almost have all posts
just stating the stolen items & circumstance

nevermind talking about who can see what BUT
inquiring to the original poster can make one post
into a thread in itself , that way
One post one item and it will be easier for everyone
to see and keep track of so we can hopefully all
help each other out

We had a suitcase of mics stolen from our studio in brussels around march.
They were all old and we couldn't find the serial numbers, but if someone sees a guy selling a bunch of mics in belgium, please let me know.
The case had:
1x old Schoeps CMT (CMT20 I think)
1x Beyer m160 (old silver version, the grill has been reglued to the top)
4x AKG 414, 3 black, 1 silver(not working)
3x AKG 451 with mic clips taped to it.
We had these mikes for a long time before they were stolen and we seriously miss them!
If you come across a similar bulk of microphones please contact me directly or contact DADA Studios in brussels at dada (at) dada (dot) be
Thanks guys!

this has already been reported to Neumann but earlier this year a Neumann 147 was stolen from my work place serial # 04575. Mic was stolen but the PSU and multipin cable were left.

I got a call from my friends at Morrisound studios yesterday afternoon, advising me that they were broken into over the weekend. Some of the details of HOW they were broken into are pretty gruesome in that they indicate it was a VERY well-planned robbery, the thieves had PLENTY of time to do a pretty comprehensive job of loading up a truck...

Here's a link to a news page with video:

http://www2.tbo.com/video/2011/apr/12/local-recording-studio-hit-by-thieves-99688/video-news/

So if anyone hears of any gear going at a price which is too cheap to be real, please let me or one of the Morris Brothers know.

Among other bizarre aspects, the computer and power supply rack for their G-series console was stolen... while the console itself was left behind.

I don't have a full list of equipment with serial numbers yet, but I'll post details of what's missing when it's all sorted out.

The Morrisound location houses a pair family-owned studios which have actually been doing good business. They've always paid their bills on time, are well respected and the staff are well-liked... With so many studios going to the wall because of a lack of business, it sickens me to see a studio which actually still HAS regular clients being hit like this.

-If anyone hears anything, please either contact the Tampa Bay PD, or -if they'd rather the source remain anonymous- contact me, and I'll forward the information without attribution.

Thanks.

Hi guys,
i hate to post stuff like this but i bought and payed a 1176 kit april/may this year from Nicolo Trukdier.
He is a member from here under the name "Trukdis".

Contact was very good till i payed. I sent him around ten E-Mails with the appeal to ship the parts... he answered one time on the second e-mail that he was very busy but no email and no parts gotten so far.

If someone knows him, please kick him from me, he would like to ship the payed things.
thats not a very kindly mode.

thank you very much.

kind regards
Aaron

This is a LONG time after the original theft, but I think I'd like to share some good news...

Morrisound's equipment was recovered.... practically ALL of it!!!

The stuff was recovered after a raid in the Carolinas. -Place had everything stored away from numerous raids across several states.

Since this is federal (crossing state lines) the guy's going to be doing a LOT of time.

They're just DELIGHTED to have recovered their stuff... -It was over a year, I think... but they've basically got it all back... including the first guitar that they ever bought.

Hope against hope that you guys can be as lucky as the Morris brothers were...

A year or so ago I made a twin mic pre demo unit for potential clients in the USA to check out. It was held by T. Ray Bullard who lent it out to various studios and touring bands. It got a lot of use. Then, towards the end of last year it disappeared. T. Ray lent it to someone and it never came back and I can't seem to contact him any more so I am treating it as stolen. It is one of a kind, one of my very early designs, and comes in a 3U rack mounting case with a separate rack mounting PSU. I have made a smaller folder on my web site with pics and other information on it. If anyone comes across it or is offered it please let me know.
