Ripped Off! Tapes 'n' Tapes robbed in former British penal colony

Posted at 4:04 PM on December 18, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis (47 Comments)

Our favorite homeboys Tapes 'N' Tapes have been on a world-wind tour, most recently to Australia by way of Japan. How were things Down Under? Fine, if you don't count getting a bunch of stuff nicked from out the rental van.

More of the boys' report from their myspace page (current mood: sad)... after the jump.

Unfortunately, not everything was flowers and sunshine downunder. on friday, only a few hours before we were scheduled to fly home from perth, we got robbed. our van was parked at city beach (right outside of perth, australia), while we were taking a brief frolic in the indian ocean. our tour manager left the van unattended for about 10 minutes, and when we came back, someone had pried open a window and stole a lot of our personal belongings. Luckily very little of our gear was stolen (only 2 big muff distortion pedals, one boss loop station, one DW9000 kick drum pedal, and a tambourine). But our personal belongings did not fair so well.
One of our passports was stolen, two mac laptops were stolen, one digital camera, all of josh's clothes, one blackberry, two cell phones, and all sorts of various inconvenient personal effects (glasses, keys, wallets, shoes, etc.). So far nothing has been recovered by the police. One of us is still stuck in Australia, sorting out passport details, but hopefully that should be resolved in the next 48hrs. The biggest thing that we lost from all of this was years worth of photos and other sentimental stuff stored on the two computers that were stolen. we'll probably never see any of these things again, but in the off chance that any of you might come across any of it, we've added some descriptive information below. thanks to everyone who's already helped us out with all of this.

So: What circle of hell is reserved for someone who steals a band's dirty clothes—along with their laptops? It's gotta be down there below litterbugs, dog-snatchers, window peepers, and Panic at the Disco.

I feel sorry for them and all, but hey, some of us actually like panic at the disco. That's harsh
