The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion‘s equipment stolen from The Sheraton, Vancouver, BC, Canada on 22 July 1998.
“The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion tour van was broken into in the loading dock of The Sheraton in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The window was smashed and a mess of gear was stolen, including mics, amps, rack equipment, and the original 1962 Vanguard Model Theremin.” –
“The Blues Explosion found a pawn shop in Vancouver that they believe was offered the stolen gear, tour manager Dick Meredith said.
“We opened at 10:15, and two guys bring [the instruments] in,” said Ducamh Nguyen, owner of the So Many Things store. “We asked them about it, but they didn’t have picture ID, so we didn’t take it.”
Along with the theremin, thieves nabbed a drum, a sampler, numerous microphones and other equipment, Meredith said. Tour shirts also were taken, one of which was discovered later on a local homeless man.” – http://www.mtv.com/news/516138/jon-spencer-blues-explosion-equipment-stolen-in-canada/
