I'm quietly hoping that when he gets it back the thieving toerag has at least done the decent thing and upgraded the pickups to some EMGs.

If it has been setup but the scratchplate has been removed, its @ICBM you should be asking pointed questions of

All decent humans remove the scratchplate.

Only filthy perverts leave it on.

Update, my stolen R9 is actually home now and fortunately in the same condition as when it was stolen 3 weeks ago. 

Thanks again for all the support.

Hopefully the thieves aren't...

I am so very pleased it's back in your hands.

I think you should do the proper thing and now use it to record a song about the saga. 
Needs to be something subtle, avoids any actual slander against the people involved, but also remembering that a "mere insult" is not actionable. So something witty and maybe a bit ambivalent. Title could be "Watch out for these cunts!"

First of all - so happy for you, and I hope the assholes will be caught. 

Secondly...

A funny story from my hometown in italy. Guys' prized Les Paul (and these are all guys in their early 20s, a Les Paul was serious cash and not easily acquired) goes missing at the local rehearsal room. The band was dismantling their gear after a session, turned around a second and it disappears. The studio had an employee - singer and guitarist from another local band. He really tries to help. He looks around. Then says he saw a guy who looked like a north african immigrant milling around. Then says his cousin is a cop and he's told him that they recovered a stolen guitar just that day. Then says no, scratch it, it's a violin, different case. The "attempts to help" continue getting more contradictory and unrealistic, and the guy just keeps digging his own grave. In the end he breaks down and leaves a number of overly long whatsapp voice notes, apologising, giving all the reasons why he did that, and begging the victim not to turn him in to the police, then returns the guitar. 

The town's stupidest pop-punk band, friends of the victim, writes an excellent song called "remorseful kleptomaniac" about this - the thief doesn't get turned in to the police, but does get turned into the laughing stock of the city's music scene.
