Thieving Backstards!!

Got the following mail today - it's an urgent plea for help in solving a crime in Cork - Cork where people are all nice, it must have been an outsider job. Anyways - spread the word and lets get FRED reunited with their gear!!!!! cos they're kinda quiet without it....

"Cork band Fred lost thousands of euro worth of equipment when they were
the victims of theft in their hometown last week.

The band's music equipment was robbed from their van parked across from
Anglesea Garda Station in Cork - and yes, they're aware of the irony!

The loss has hit them hard as they're about to embark on a North
American tour and were planning a few warm-up shows in the coming month.

The band have released a list of stolen gear, and are encouraging music
fans to keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell it on.

The equipment taken includes:
Fender Blues Junior re issue amp with tweed finish
Fender sunburst precision bass
Fender Stage 100 amp
Pearl masters white marine pearl finish with gold trim rack tom
drum;(12"x8") in rigid black case with yellow straps on catches
Pearl Masters sparkly blue snare drum with chrome trim()14"x6" kept in
worn wine coloured case covered in old stickers with black tie strap
Trace Elliot bass head.

Fred's Joseph O'Leary has asked anyone with any information to get in
touch: "If anyone happens to see any of these items under suspicious
circumstances, please let the gardai know or email us at
seosav at gmail dot com
Any help with this would be really appreciated."
