Rare Drum Set Stolen - please help us find it!!

[Cindyluwho]

A note from Don Bennett drum studio. Don is a good friend and an amazing member of the community. Please keep a lookout for this drum set.

I can use a little help here. One of our vintage rental sets was stolen last night from a private residence around 80th and Lake City Way in North Seattle. It is a very unique finish and very easy to identify. I've included a very thorough description of each item and a link to a photo of the finish. If you see any of these items please contact me immediately or report to the SeattlePolice. Case # 08-449641. Anyone who helps find and return the drums will receive the new cymbal of their choice

Thanks, Donn Bennett

I would DEFINITELY keep checking eBay and Craigslist to see if the thief has listed it.

They've got every musician in the Pacific Northwest scanning every ad on every website and in every paper trying to track them down.
Wish us luck!

You know, I'm not sure of the value. I know it's vintage and that it's rare but Donn didn't say what the value was. I haven't heard any news as of today. I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks for taking a look.
