Just to clarify. Their van was stolen in a Montreal hotel parking lot and not in Ottawa. From information that I've read, they were on their way to the Ottawa Bluesfest after playing at the Montreal Jazzfest. I think it would be better to be on the lookout for the stolen goods around the Montreal area.

you are correct, kate moss just sent me the list but im not sure how to post it? its big.

i have just recieved a list of the equipment that was stolen from nick moss and the flip tops. i dont know how to post it as an attachment? im not to savvy with computers. and i stand corrected it was taken from a montreal hotel parking lot. they finished up a gig at the mont.jazz festival and were due to play at the ottawa blues fest. sorry for any confusion,so with that said need to search around montreal area? if i can just get the list up.....thanks to all.
