jonno1981 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) This is a re-post from a friend of mine who had a break in at his rehearsal studios last night. Watch out for any secondhand Mag300 heads going cheap around berkshire......If anyone recognises the guy please send Jay a message. [quote]Dear all, At approximately 0.30am on 3rd July, The Rhoom Studios was broken into and some equipment and cash was stolen. The keysafe was smashed off of unit 17 and the ASHDOWN MAG300 bass amp and mics were taken from Studio 1. Then Unit 26 was broken into and as you'll see from the video below, the scum broke into the control room and stole the cash. This also happened last week too - an ASHDOWN MAG300 bass amp and 2 SM58 mics were taken along with all of the cash. If anyone see's a couple of these surface in the Reading area, please let me know. One has a fake-leather finish, the other had that black fur finish. I'm offering 2 months of free rehearsals to anyone who can name and shame the person in this video. The police are already involved but this could speed the process up somewhat.

Any information at all will be useful. In the mean time, the online calendars have been disabled and the payment method will be changed again. If you rehearse at the Rhoom, please can you arrange to pay via bank transfer for your session, unless I come and collect the money in person. Please do not leave money on site until further notice. Kind regards Jamie Postones[/quote] Edited August 5, 2011 by jonno1981 Quote

I assume the police have used the video to get a still photo of the w***er for a 'Wanted, Dead or Alive' poster. And the way these things work chances are better than even he's a client of your friend, not a very bright one judging by the apparent lack of gloves. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Have posted here [url="http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=235230153168867&id=36482348096¬if_t=like"]http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?stor...mp;notif_t=like[/url] I think there will be fingerprints on the paper he took off of the wall also he looked like he knew the place.

Monckyman Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 He`ll no doubt already have thought this through but I reckon that`s def a muso who used the facility so, he needs to look at who has STOPPED using the rooms since the robbery. Contact them and circulate the pics/vid. Readings a small place.. Quote
whimsy23 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 ^ yeah, that was bloody quick, no messing around Never nice having stuff stolen though so hope justice is done Quote
crez5150 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Not nice being robbed but that seemed all a bit to quick and easy, not very secure in my eyes. Still very wrong for someone to do it though butI'd be looking to make it all a bit more secure than that. Quote
jonno1981 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 The guy smashed the key safe off the wall outside. It's most likely someone who has used the studio and very recently. There is more cctv to come with a direct feed off the camera and potentially from the carpark. Will update the thread with more info when it appears. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Firing squad would be the best thing IMO! As for the gloves, If he is stealing Ashdown gear you would of thought he would be a fan of the wooly variety Fingers crossed someone recognises him. Quote
Sibob Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Ah man, I know Jay, so this sucks even more! Hopefully will have it sorted soon Si Quote
Blademan_98 Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Lets hope they catch him quick. He must be a drummer though as he wore no gloves or mask (sorry, in poor taste but I couldn't help myself) Quote
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1291260' date='Jul 3 2011, 01:16 PM']He must be a drummer though as he wore no gloves or mask [/quote] More likely a bass player, we're used to being ignored. Not a guitar'd player, though, or he'd have smiled for the camera. Quote

xgsjx Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 He's probably right! As usual, it's only us bassists looking. I dare say most folk who use the studio are hoping the MAG heads are never found. They should make it so if you steal, you get a finger cut off. This way if a thief persists, he can only go so far. Quote
Monckyman Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 A drummer would have turned up later surely? Nah, this twats a singer, am convinced. Quote
Danimal Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Definitely not a bass player - why would they bother stealing Ashdown amps? On a serious note, I really hope they catch the guy. Only met Jamie once briefly after a Tesseract gig, but he seemed like a top bloke and it angers me that someone like him (or anyone at all, really) has to deal with this kind of crap. There's been quite a few reports about stolen gear just lately it seems, and it's a worrying trend. Quote
fender73 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 That sucks - hopefully the perp will be caught and dealt with. Quote
Dood Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I reposted the FB message earlier today - I don't know Jay personally, but my band mates have been recording at the very studio. Real shame to hear about this. There's some ****ing pondlife out there. Hung, Drawn and Quartered on capture then his remains hung from the walls as a deterrent please! Quote
jonno1981 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 Just a wee update with a new video. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9_GE4l_TNk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9_GE4l_TNk[/url] No luck so far in tracking this guy down. If anyone knows the thief send Jay an email [email protected] The crime reference number is: ec/3861323/11 - if you wish to inform the police anonymously. Quote
