Re: Stolen pipes
My son just posted the following on his Facebook page:
So here's the status of todays events: 8 am--Discover broken window in the equipment van. Stickyfingers McDouchebag lifted three guitars, a bass, three pedal boards and all of my Bagpipe gear...
The rest of the day was ok, all things considered. The bands we were playing with immediately offered spare gear when they heard about the news. Major shout outs and so much love to Albannach's piper Donnie, the boys of Rathkeltair and The Wyndbreakers and to the beautiful people at the Central Florida Highland Games for stepping up and helping us when we were at our weakest.
This morning I felt like my best friend had died. I hope and pray that the police of Orlando assist us and what was taken from us returns and these scumbags are brought to justice without reprieve or mercy.
However, with the borrowed instruments and everything we had an incredible night and we felt truly loved today by those around us. I (and the rest of the band) cannot thank God enough for finding ourselves in the community that highland games offer. We sustained a major blow this morning...the monetary value is well over $12,000 but the personal investment and love of what we lost is incalculable. The most important thing though is that we have sustained and that we will carry on.
Again, thank you all so much for your prayers, concern, love and support. We truly love you all
He's a good kid. I'm so sorry that he had to have this lesson in the dark side of humanity.
