Hi guys, this is my first post here, and I have bad news. My Ibanez J-Custom RG8670 TV was stolen, along with several thousand dollars of other stuff, from my Honda Civic, in Berkeley, CA (SF Bay Area).
Details:

Date Stolen: December 25, 2005.

Location: 2029 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94087

Serial Number (located on back of headstock): 44072

The Ibanez RG8670 is a J-Custom guitar, handmade in Ibanez Japan custom shop. I worked hard to earn the money to buy it. Cost at time of purchase: About $1700. Currently, the RG8670 it is out of production and collectible. Mine is in excellent condition.

The current value of this guitar is $2400-$2800.

Also Stolen

* 19" Samsung LCD monitor
* Tony Hawk Birdhouse skateboard
* $1000 in CD's, including Megadeth, Pantera, G'n R, Mr. Big. Mostly rock and metal, but some classical music. At least 200 CDs with no jewel cases (they were in ziploc bags), some CD's are japanese.
* Car opener/alarm remote
* Motorola Phone charger

Total loss: about $4300, but the guitar is irreplaceable. This model of guitar is hand-made, so there are minute differences between each one. I was lucky enough to get two of these rare guitars), and the one that was stolen has better Harmonics and better craftmanship. It is just incredible. The best guitar I have ever played. Maybe it's the wood grains or something, but that guitar in particular is exceptional, even for J-Customs. I loved it and babied of it. It is a huge loss for me.

If you have any information about the guitar, please call 510 495 4093.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Bummer. But I got to ask: With such a nice guitar holed up in your car, didn't your car have an alarm system? If it DID, then that REALLY blows! Either way, very sorry for your loss. Sad

Yes I have an alarm system, but the remote is broken, so I just locked it. Of course I shouldn't have left it in my car. I was tired. I meant to come down and take the rest of the stuff out of my car on a second trip. I had a discussion with my GF and I never came back down.

The car was garaged, but the building's garage door broke sometime later that night, so the door was stuck wide open.

Talk about a bad series of events. Hope you luck out, and get it back. Good luck.

Folks, DO NOT DO WHAT I DID.

Keep your guitar in the house. DO NOT leave it in your car. Keep the car alarm armed.
