UDPATE: We've found it!!!!!! Just waiting on the police to give us the all-ok and then I can go pick it back up!

 

Thanks to everyone in the community.

Brilliant result  well done to all involved!

[Ricky 4000]

Next time, don't leave it in your car for a week! 😃

 

If you need any more gems of hindsight wisdom -- let me know.

 

(seriously though, well done all concerned, and I'm very happy for the OP to be getting it back) 👍

I've got a few mates that I'd have liked to have sent round to 'collect' it.

I remember in the 80's one of my neighbours caught some little sheet stealing from his car.  Unfortunately for Johnny Scumbag my neighbour had served with the Malayan Scouts and was an expert in counter insurgency warfare, and it wasn't long before the light fingered herbert had "fallen down the stairs, officer" quite unpleasantly.

Then the police turned up and he proceeded to fall down the stairs in the back of their van, which happened a lot back then. Shame.

Not sure this sort of thing helps to be honest, but if it made him feel better then I’m sure that what matters.

It certainly didn't help the people who were beaten up by the police because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or looked like someone else, or who were black. Luckily we have got a bit better than that.

Please do keep us updated as to how/when you get it back, I am hooked! 
 

As others have said great detective work and I’m pleased it looks like the amp is going back to its rightful owner.

May I just say that @CookPassBabtridge is definitely one of the great usernames of all time. Right up there with @Jean-Luc Pickguard IMO.

Hahaha, thank you, good sir 😂

I am also a fan of Danger Mouse myself!

Heya guys,

 

It's back! Police dropped it back at mine last night. Now here's hoping they catch the crook that sold it! (Police have got plentiful evidence so hopefully something happens soon!)

 

Apologies for the VERY low res photo!

Thanks all

Great news, and kudos to the cops acting so quickly. In my case, it took them nine days and a nudge from my MSP to recover my bass from Cash Generator!

[CookPassBabtridge]

Great news, please do let us know if they get the cretin who pinched it. Could do with having my faith in the old Bill improved!

As one who has left gear in cars loads of times as well as stacked at the back of pubs to be picked up in a couple of days or even on some occasions left all week as we were playing next weekend, I feel your pain. I was extremely lucky in that I never had anything lifted, but it would break my heart and I would have had no one to blame but myself. glad you got it back. I had to edit as I hadn't read all the replies.

Hang on I think you've been swizzed? How can one person hold it up unless all the insides have been removed?! Ha

Think the tea-leaf must have had a fork lift nearby...

Great result. Now book an appointment with a chiropractor.
