<p>What a heart-break. I can surely feel the sting of this loss, what a gorgeous guitar and with such a long family history. I can also imagine your anger. It probably won't show up down here in Texas, but I'll keep my eye out anyway. One thing to consider would be a reward of some type. I've heard money can be a motivator.</p>

<p>You might want to try a post on Craigslist as well or send every music store and pawn shop pictures and description but I'm afraid only the dumbest of thieves wouldn't be aware that pawn shops have to list items with police before they make it to the floor for resale. Hope you get them back.</p>

If you have facebook id suggest making a post with pics and info and circulating it aggressively. I remember a couple years ago a man disappeared when showing a truck he was selling and his family did this. It took about 2 days for a good part of the population in southern Ontario to be aware of the case and people were on the lookout. Unfortunately it didnt end up well for the man, but it proved how useful social media can be in such instances. You might not get awareness like this for a…

<p>Thanks Ian!</p>
<p>PPD tells me it's likely going to sit in storage for a while as the thieves will figure out that it's hard to sell inconspicuously, so we're in it for the long haul. I plan to keep <a href="http://pooleweb.com/guitar" target="_blank">http://pooleweb.com/guitar</a> up 'till the instrument is recovered, and I'm posting it to as many online registries of stolen guitars as I can find. Drop me a line if you can recommend local shops or luthiers I should especially contact?</p>

<p>Very general ransacking, and they took other things as well. We don't have any suspects among people we know or have hired, but we have a couple leads we're encouraging the police to pursue. Thanks for taking note, and anything you can do to help us spread the word to luthiers, dealers, and collectors.</p>

<p>So sorry and sad that this happened, Alan. What a beautiful instrument with family connection. I certainly hope that you recover your intruments and the 'perps' are caught!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would suspect anyone who knows you and/or of these instruments. Have you had any 'service/maintenance' people in your home lately?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was the 'break-in' specifically for these instruments....or general ran-sacking?</p>
