...a fender hot rod deluxe that was stolen from my office in the mid-nineties has turned up on craiglist.
i'm checking to see if it was included in the original police report. it was stolen from my former office along with computer equipment - i'm checking now with my former employer. turns out no police report was filed. so, all i have is the original receipt, which proves nothing.
i didn't file an insurance claim because the $500 deductible plus depreciation would have rendered any claim moot.
a local musician bought it from a pawn shop in kensington market. the poor girl is trying to sell it so she can pay her rent.
mainly all i want to do is the right thing, but it seems to me there may be an opportunity here to follow a trail right back to the thieves.
as well, if it is shown that the amp is stolen (i'm trying to track down my serial number/receipt etc), can this girl get her money back from the pawn shop?
