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,

Hello,

I know that someone mentioned car insurance, but if you have not thought of it, your home owners or renters insurance also covers items being transported to and from your home in your car.

Good luck.
Duke we got your back will keep looking online but I do feel thiefs have no clue what the screens are in the uhaul bet they dump or hock them.
I think he is a dealer, so I seriously doubt his homeowner's policy would cover. Hopefully, he has some coverage for his inventory.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. You may already know this, but, you can put in a custom search in ebay and you will get an email everytime a Soundlab speaker is put up for sale.
Thank you all for your words of encouragement and your excellent suggestions. I will be watching Craiglist and Ebay and putting on my disguise and posing as a customer if they show up.

The cops drove me around Barstow truck stops and other secluded areas close to roads, but we found nothing. They were hoping to find the trailer, as the target was probably the car (Honda CRV).

I don't know what my insurance coverage is at this point - I'll make some phone calls on Monday, but then I'll have to get on the bus and start heading home.

The hotel was a nice one (by my standards at least!) - a Red Roof Inn - and the people who worked there said they'd never had a car stolen out of the parking lot before, though they did have a motorcycle stolen once and a few cars broken into over the years.

Again, thank you one and all.

Duke
