Someone stole the Gibson Custom Shop Truck and Trailer from a hotel parking lot in Naperville, IL. The truck and trailer were recovered, heavily damaged, sans guitars. Photos of the truck and guitars can be found here. Read on for a statement from Gibson, contact information, and a complete list of the stolen equipment.

"Earlier this week, while at a brick & mortar event in the Chicago area,the Custom Shop truck and trailer were stolen from an area hotel parking lot. Yes, the COMPLETE rig.
The trailer & truck were recovered yesterday morning by police, both
heavily damaged, and guitars stolen.
The attached list has the list of missing guitars.
I'm hoping that with all of your forum connections that you may be able to post something to have forum members (and lurkers) be on the lookout for the guitars on the list.
If somebody does spot one of these instruments, please have them contact Gibson at 1-800-4GIBSON, or call the Naperville, Illinois police department at (630) 420-6666
Thanks!
