Seattle’s Shoplifting is playing Food Hole tomorrow, but some asshole stuck a wrench in the gears by ripping off all their stuff. Says Pitchforkmedia.com, “Last weekend (and for the second time in five years), Shoplifting’s second-most all-consuming tour fear was realized.”

"While their van was parked at 17th and Guerro in San Francisco, someone smashed a window and stole the following, according to a MySpace post from Devin Welch:
- Acoustic Control Corporation Model 150 Amp Head
- Acoustic Control Corporation Model 104 6X10" speaker cabinet
- Fender 75 Combo Amp with Celestion Vintage 30 1X12" speaker, green silkcreened grillcloth, Fender logo covered with tape
- Case with pedals: Electro Harmonix Micro Synthesizer in battered condition, Moogerfooger - Ring Modulator, RAT distortion, Boss Stage Tuner, Danelectro Delay
- Yamaha Portasound Keyboard with velcro on speakers
- Bag with hi-hat stand, cymbal stand, 2 snare stands, legs for floor tom
- Green, brown and silver ReLoad messenger bag with books, minidisc, cheap mics, personal items
- Tupperware bin with merch, estimated 100 CDs including EPs, albums and a large quantity of the Zum Audio Volume 3 CD, 50 12" EPs and LPs, a few 7"s
- Personal CDs in a large black CD book and a brown-grey cloth CD book
- Faux tweed suitcase with books

Numbers' Dave Broekema and Eric Landmark, as well as Grey Daturas' Rob Mayson, have loaned Shoplifting enough equipment to finish their current tour. In the meantime, San Franciscans should keep their eyes peeled, and send any leads to yrshoplifting@yahoo.com."
