Nah I definitely played it after the lesson. I checked my browsing history for some tabs I'd looked at to make sure I wasn't going crazy.

Haha wow, my stars and supermoon must have aligned or somethign because I got a call from the police today to say the've recovered my stolen guitar from a pawn shop and have enough evidence to prosecute someone for the burglary. :zomg: :oh: :congrats: I was a bit gobsmacked, I thought it was a no-hoper since they hadn't been in touch with me for weeks.

That verified that it was a burglary too, so the insurance is paying out on the other bits (cash and cellphone) ... so ... yeah, happy days, once this is all wrapped up. Touch wood.

The pawn shop paid him (or her?) $150 for it too... That's a sad state of affairs for everyone involved. :lolno:

Good news! Did you work out how they'd "past participle of get" in to your house though?

Yeh sort of. I'd say it was through the roofspace, though I'm also aware that anyone can learn to pick a lock or just buy the tools so it's hard to say for sure. More info will come to light in future I guess.

The polices were nonspecific but it sounds like someone known to the neighbour and the person I suspected.

Maybe it's a bit bittersweet but now I'm a 3-guitar household again so I can't window shop for anything.

I want to have new guitars to try but I like all my existing ones. :roll:

I know right. It's a nice guitar so it's cool; I had already been fixing to buy another Schecter similar. ... Oh well though.

I remember reading this thinking "oh no, bad girlfriend" glad it worked out.

BTW I can pick locks, and if the lock was picked it would have been a hassle to relock it after opening it.
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.
