    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. 

    My thoughts exactly, although - seeing as we're talking about PRS - it sounds almost like taking the piss.

    Of course even if they only sell it for half its value it's pure profit to them.

    Although I sympathise, I'm surprised that guitars of that value aren't locked up. Needless to say, however, I hope the crooks are caught and pay for their crime.

    Those pictures could not be any clearer!  Of course it doesn't guarantee anyone will report them.

    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
    I did get stung on the same format about 30 years ago - Long black leather coat like 'Shaft'
    It was probably the guy that bought the wah pedal later that same day !

    A guy nicked a 2U rackmount bass head from the shop I work for with just a jacket slung over his shoulder. Very cool and casually done when we saw the CCTV - you wouldn't have thought he could hold up a 20lb+ amp with his elbow like that, but he did. The thief was never caught despite fairly good pictures and that he was clearly experienced at it.

    It's a difficult choice to make, presumably, as you don't want to dissuade people from asking to try things.

    Gotta say - that's pretty fucking audacious!  How could they not know they were on CCTV?

    I can't imagine there's much of a chance they won't get caught!  Here's hoping, anyway.

    She's looking down and adjusting her hair as she walks in the shop as though she's aware the camera is there.

    Bastards....a similar thing happened at my local guitar shop a year or so ago, guy walked out with the owner's personal Les Paul, again under a long coat. I sincerely hope this pair are caught. I've met John a few times, straight up guy, I wouldn't wish this on him.

    Wow. I'm gobsmacked. But that must be more than enough evidence for the police to use for an arrest? It's crystal clear.
    Yes , it will be ... when the offenders have been identified which is the purpose of the vid/social media appeal . 

    I Sincerely hope they get caught.

    I’m sure someone did something similar to that some years ago in Theguitarstore in Southampton

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

    Have you asked your neighbours/local business to check their CCTV to trace their movements to a vehicle?

    Fuckers: Am still very wounded by the theft of my Custom 22 a couple of years ago. Hopefully they'll be caught.

    The balls (well, not her, hopefully) on these fuckers is unreal! Hope you catch them and get your guitar back, John. Shared it on fb!
