    That'll be a commissioned theft.

    I hope they do find it though.

    Wow. I'm gobsmacked. But that must be more than enough evidence for the police to use for an arrest? It's crystal clear.

    Shocking ... I bet its stolen to order and is heading out of the UK.

    I wonder if anyone showed an interest in it prior to the theft ....

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    can't get insured for shop lifting - otherwise all/many retailers would look at such options to get rid of old/unwanted stock - Maybe all retailers is an exaggeration, but you know what I mean

    There is an exception to this if the item is alarmed and under an approved lock n key - which is okay in say certain jewelers but not in a front of house format - You see some stores with say Belstaff leather jackets with an alarm system that is hooked through a row of jackets via a 'wire'

  • it's a real bastard. These guitars are locked down and a lot of customers give us heat about that! So it's a difficult balance to get right. But these people are professionals and unfortunately, a few bad eggs always ruin it for the others.

    That's as 'professional' as it gets, and there's no way they haven't done this before or since.

    I wonder if there's CCTV of the car park?

    I thought the same about the car park - would seriously help

    Won't get better pics than that of the actual culprits

  • Gutted for you @peachguitarsdotcom ; and I'm certain that's nicked to order. Selling a brand new private stock with no case or paperwork is going to prove tricky.

  • They didn't park in our car park. We are covered by our insurance company @guitars4you ;

    Exactly the same modus operandi of a pair I stopped back in the 1990s from taking a Les Paul Custom. The woman was wearing flowing clothing, and inside it was a sown in large pocket big enough to accomodate the guitar body. I spotted what was going on and legged it after them - and we were lucky, we got the guitar back undamaged. The pair escaped, though.

    Still sucks

    The woman in the coat has a distinctly Roma look about her .....the man doesn't.......bet they will feature on previous vt ; they seemed to know exactly where to pick up the big ticket item so they must have been in before to case the joint
