The thief's potential resale market just went down by a factor of 10 for sure. I watch eBay all the time (as do you) and will be asking many "what's the serial number on that one?" questions in the days to come. If it surfaces, we'll catch the bugger.   Dutchk9 Username: Dutchk9 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Saturday, November 24, 2007 - 7:25 pm:    Don't know where Scranton is exactly, but might she turn up on any site in Holland, she'll be notified, by me or one of the other Dutch members, I'm sure.

The 2nd one is not a '79 AR300. It's an eighties AR305. mk   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 8:39 am:    Michael, Don't know who this belongs to but the area code and phone exchange got me as I used to live out in the Richmond District in San Francisco while in chef school and had a 415-722 phone number. Made me homesick a little for California seeing it... Best of luck recovering it.   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 10:50 am:    Just so there's no confusion, it's not my guitar. mk   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 2:36 pm:    Michael, Good, glad it's not - would be a real shame if it was someone I knew as nice as you. Still a shame some soul lost their guitar to some thief.

I just got a reply and here it is.. Hi Brian- Really appreciate you passing along the info. I originally posted on CraigsList, a few bass forums I belong to and some site called "Screaming Mad....??? (something) that distributed it to dozens of other sites. The good news is I've recovered it ! The bad news (not so bad) is that I don't know how to go about notifying all the sites that it's recovered! If you're a member of Ibanez collector's World would you mind posting a "found" message for me? Many thanks and good karma to you. Regards, Gil Young SO its all good!   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Sunday, November 25, 2007 - 5:03 pm:    Cool! I wonder how he got it back... mk   Bigmike Username: Bigmike Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, November 26, 2007 - 8:49 am:    Makes you think if he reported it to the Police they got lucky with a hot sheet hit at a music store or pawn shop...
