Stolen Instruments !

[Rapids Rock]

ALERT!! Yesterday, Monroe Crossing's mandolin player's instruments were stolen out of his hotel room in Glendale, AZ. His mandolin is a 2003 LaPlant, numbered 125, and his fiddle old and unnumbered. Please pass this on! They're in Arizona for a few more days and are hoping against hope to recover them.

I don't know them personally but here's their website if you need to contact them on this matter:  http://www.monroecrossing.com/

If you know of musicians/pickers in AZ and surrounding areas please pass this along

WONDERFUL NEWS ~ THE MANDO HAS BEEN RETURNED!!!!!
    
It was purchased 'on the street' by a gentleman named Jerry.. After realizing it wasn't "grandma's instrument" (as the seller had claimed), he did some research and discovered it had been stolen. He quickly called the mando player (during set break, no less!), then promptly delivered it to the band in the middle of their second set!! It was quite the amazing moment to witness.. Matt was SO elated to be reunited with his beloved mando, like a child reuniting with a parent.. SO freakin incredible!!!
