14 NC Central University sousaphones stolen

From this morning's News & Observer:
Thieves steal band's thunder

That's some shameful shit.

What kind of master criminal made off with 14 sousaphones without their cases? Seriously, this would require significant preparation and sleight of hand. If someone sees a sousaphone occupying the entire backseat of your car, you can't just be like "Um, cashed in some Best Buy giftcards" the way you could for fancy electronics or something. And, you know, times 14. Christ.

At the same time, I can't imagine these assholes won't get far -- fencing that stuff has got to be difficult. Then again, the article states that the thefts occurred on at least two incidents at least through December. Lame that we're only hearing about it now. I can only imagine how Central's bassline must feel. Boo.

This guy might have more details. Updates TK!

Film execs, take note: Who needs screenwriters when Drumline II pretty much just wrote itself?

  1. Without their cases?!?!?! That's so sad...

    Btw, I checked on that bra, and no, they don't have it in your size unfortunately. They only had "cup" and "bowl" sizes. Better luck next time.

  2. hey girl! can't imagine the pain you'd bring to these motherfuckers if they'd made off with 100 large worth of basses.

    hehe, thanks for checking on the bra. i'm pretty damn used to stuff not fitting my boobs, so it's cool. although western boob implant trends could theoretically make my chances better ^_^
