The Randy Kohrs Band - Stolen Gear - Obetz, Ohio

[Tim Bishop]

I'm posting this with hope someone will be able to help identify and/or recover this stolen equipment. Follow the link below. I know one of the items in the list is a "Upright acoustic King Bass, white with black trim, red tailpiece, rare".

This doesn't involve Smith gear, but I thought I would post it anyway in case anyone in the area sees any of this stuff for sale. The Randy Kohrs Band had $60,000 worth of equipment stolen in Obetz, Ohio near Columbus. They took mostly Randy's dobros along with some guitars and a few fiddles, but there were also 2 warwick bass cabs stolen.

The following link communicates a list of everything stolen and additional information:

Thanks Tim. I'll keep my eyes open around Wainuiomata.
