ripoff

[jfb]

I discovered tonight that about 600 copies of my solo CD had been stolen. Don't know when.

This isn't as big a shock as it might be. They were all in three cardboard boxes in an unsecured storage area outside my apartment. The reason they were there is that I'd decided it would be okay if someone took them. I stopped thinking a while ago that I would ever sell them.

Still, theft makes me feel bad in my stomach. They also took some empty suitcases, so I guess I'm packing light for the Vermillion Lies tour.

On the bright side: Assuming those boxes end up in the dumpster somewhere, that turns the remaining 400 CDs into incredibly valuable collector's items.

Jesus. Bastards. Well, on the up side: maybe the crooks, desperate to recoup some money from their hard work thieving, will go out and sell your CDs to a bunch of people.

I think I have some spare suitcase things you can have, if Portland's not entirely too late.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a real uptick in sales this quarter.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll just go without the suitcases for now. I have a carry-on, and the others were out in the storage area because, well, we don't really have room for them inside.

Wow. I wonder if the crooks even knew what they were stealing. Like, did they not notice that the boxes were full of the same cd? Or did they think they hit some sort of cd jackpot, and that they were going to hit up every record store in town selling them back for cash and/or credit?

Sorry about being a victim of theft. It really is the sickest feeling.

I'm sure they had no idea. They saw three boxes that were heavy and said KEEP AWAY FROM HEAT, and figured what the hell. Later they opened them up, found they were full of TK, and, well, probably dumped them somewhere. I might ask around the local record stores.

This isn't nearly as bad as the time I came home to find my door kicked in and my laptop gone. But yeah, it feels sick.

gah, that sucks.

I agree!

By the way, are you free for the Winchester Mystery House on Saturday, maybe around 3?

Yeah, that sounds doable.

Don't bother to invite ME ..
Hey when's your next bay area show? Will you autograph my copy of TK? And one for my friend? And my mom? And her bridge group? And their neighbors?
