Stolen SoundLabs - just in case...

Here's one for the "I hate it what that happens" file:

This morning my car, u-haul trailer, and a pair of SoundLab M-1PX loudspeakers were stolen from a hotel parking lot in Barstow, California. I'm hoping that they show up for sale somewhere (ah - the speakers, not the car & trailer - gotta keep my priorities straight here!). The serial number is M1PX002, the side rails are rosewood, and the backplates have the "hotrod" upgrade identifiable by the large blue Jensen capacitors. They have the shallower 45 degree panels characteristic of th PX series. There aren't very many M-1PX's in circulation.

If you happen to come across these speakers for sale somewhere, contact officer Dante' Caliboso of the Barstow Police Department, case number 07-4135 and 07-4136 (they list the automobile and trailer separately, and the backplates were in the car). Their phone number is 760-255-5111, and my cell phone is 504-251-2311.

Oh by the way, I also found out that U-Haul's "insurance" doesn't cover theft.

Thanks,

Sad for you Duke,

Crime, that kind especially, can happen anyway at anytime.
I'm sure Duke didn't think he was in a bad place.

I hope the speakers are dumped somewhere, and the cops recover them. I don't think it would be to hard for them to drive through most neighborhoods etc... and give some guy the deal of a lifetime or go to some pawn shop in the city. If Duke was the target then I'm sure the trailer was the main reason hoping something valuable was inside. Don't think they need to be versed in hi-end audio to turn a quick buck on some wonderful speakers. Let's hope the cops can do their best and you get a crafty one who knows how to pound the pavement and sources or maybe that's only in the movies.

Great news, Duke! Good kharma coming back to you for all your excellent advice here throughout the years.

I can think of only three explanations:

(1) The thieves don't like crossovers and being firmly in the FRD camp instead, were disgusted when they didn't see Zu inside.

(2) There were no thieves. You made up the whole story to explain to your good wife why you were parked in that deserted spot in the night when the car refused to start. :-)

(3) There really are angels who keep watch over good speakers and good people.

Whatever the explanation, cheers and congratulations.
