    Default Bad Week

    Had to fly out to New Port Richey FL. last Sunday as my dad had a major heart attack. While I was gone someone broke into my house and pretty much cleaned me out.I lost 13 guitars and two amps they left two guitars and most of my amps my new DRRI was not taken but they took the foot switch.One of the amps they did get is the white tweed Apollo.The things that bothers me the most is they got 7 guns,and that they took all my daughters clothes.Good note the police have a girl who was involved in a separate crime but had some of my property in her car.As of right now she is being tight lipped,I hope she will give up the others involved in this.

    Good Lord!! That's awful. So sorry to hear about it. Talking about adding trouble on top of trouble.

    Hope your dad gets better and the police catch the *&^%$#% who did this.

    That sucks FB. Hope your Father is doing better. With as much property as they stole, if the girl is wise she'll start talking. But regardless, property can be replaced, Fathers not so much.

    FB, it sure was a bad week. Hope your father is doing ok and that is the most important thing right now.

    As for the break-in, everything can be replaced and although it is a crappy feeling, at least no one was hurt. That girl should start talking or I would assume she would end up taking the fall for the whole break-in.

    Good luck and keep us posted on your fathers progress.

    Sending you some hopeful thoughts, FB. I know that you must feel pretty done in/drained by all of this. Hope that your dad is recovering well - for the rest, thank God no one in your family was hurt, and I hope that your stuff finds its way back to you.

    F_B, I hope your Dad recovers quickly and painlessly.

    I hope the bastages that stole your stuff are caught, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    Sending much mojo and prayers your way, man.

    Thats terrible.

    Hope your dad picks up, and hope they catch the others involved and recover what stuff they can.

    The law should be written that, in instances like this, whoever is caught takes the sentence for whoever else was involved, e.g. you catch one person but three were involved; that one person takes 3 sentences. That would get them talking!

    First of all my best wishes to your dad and that he might recover pretty soon.

    It's good that they got at least one person invilved. You will get your stuff back, I am convinced of that.

    Stay strong my friend!

    I just came upon this thread. Prayers from this home go to your father and your family. What a devastating thing to have happen especially with your father in the condition he is in.
    I have many of the same things you had taken and I can imagine what you are feeling, I pray that all will work out and again many prayers for your father from this household.
