Posted back in August 2017 that i had 2 bass guitars stolen from my house while I was on vacation. The Police found them both a couple of weeks ago, but just today I was able to get one of them back home!
Had to go to a "hearing" to prove it was mine, I was worried at first since I bought these off Craigslist a few years ago, so I don't have any paper receipts nor did I save any of the Ads, email replies or screenshots, but I did provide the serial number and description at the time of the initial Police Report and I had a couple of pics. of me playing it at a gig, so the Sheriff told me that was good enough to prove ownership They found my other guitar, but it's in a different County, so that will be a separate hearing at a later date to get that one back as well.
Back safely at home.... luckily nothing was damaged, did a quick cleaning and setup, didn't need anything really, just a good wipe down...
I did swap the pickguard though....
