Hi John
Yes, sadly some piece of scum came in the building and it was obviously a targeted theft, as they went straight for the guitar and while they also stole the Pebble Beach trophy, I have to believe, that was just shiny object they saw on the way out the window, maybe thought because it was Pebble Beach it might have been silver. Nothing else was rifled through or disturbed, besides the large window they broke to get in and out.
My building is extremely secure and you cant see in. Therefore, I have no doubt this was somebody who had been in my building for a visit to see the collection, which only happens when its club visit etc unless I know people personally - in January I had two clubs visit, both charity events raising money for the BMW CCA Foundation. I do remember two guys seemed overly interested in the guitar, but I have never met them before and when I asked " any questions guys" they looked at each other and were like "no" and walked out of the building. Sadly, while it stood out to me at the time, I had no reason to think especially about it, so cant remember which group it was.
The part that makes irks me so much is this is somebody who I have allowed in my building and they come back and do this. I have a very special gift for this person, should I be lucky enough to find them.
If anybody wishes to share this picture on their social media sites, it was stolen at 4am on Wednesday morning in Lynnwood WA, that would be great. It is 100% unique.
Thanks
Pete
P.S. I haven't done anything with Wes Hill
