Hope you were well insured.

What makes it so frustrating is you know that that gear is worthless to everyone but a piano tuner. Most of it will probably end up in a dumpster. I'm truly sorry for you, my friend. I hope things work out to exceed your expectations.

Sunday my tools were in my truck, Monday morning the weren't. I know they were there on Sunday because they were in my way when I strapped my daughter into her car seat. When I arrived at the university and realized they were not there I assumed I must have taken them out at home although I didn't recall that. When I got home they were no where to be found. There was also a box of tools I was using to fix a PianoDisc a few days earlier. Included was a test control box, a CPU, a cordless drill, and some programming and test disks. I only went one place yesterday, a major electronics store. I asked them if they would check the recording on their parking lot cameras. I had my purchase receipt with a time stamp so I know exactly when I was there. I didn't get much encouragement from them. They said I would have to file a police report first, apparently not too enthusiastic to share their security video with just anyone. No evidence of forced entry which means it was probably someone very experienced. If you have the right "friends" it wouldn't be too tough to get lock smith tools and rotating frequency power door lock transmitters. Besides my Accu-tuner there was my favorite tuning hammer I've used for 15 years, all my regulating tools, voicing tools, the only harpsichord "tuning thingy" I had, center pins, broaches, lots of mutes, and a lot of other things. I will of course be filing a police report immediately but unless the police can pull something off the store video I'll probably never see any of it again.
