I got an urgent email: Somebody just sold your amp on eBay.

Checking out the link, it appeared that a pawn shop in Syracuse had, indeed, listed the amp and cover the day mine was stolen. It sold immediately.

I called the police - the officer who had taken my report would call me back.

I sent a note through eBay to the seller, telling him the amp he'd listed and sold looked like the amp I'd had stolen.

I looked up the name of the seller, and there was a pawn shop with a similar name.

I called and left a message.

The owner of the pawn shop called me back. He told me if the amp was mine, he would see the  person who sold it to him go to jail. I said, if it was mine I could identify it, but I was waiting for a call from the police, and couldn't get over there until after work.

When I went, I saw an amp that could have been mine, but had been abused more than mine - in perfect shape - ever had. It was unidentifiable as mine.

Very disappointing. While I was inspecting the amp, the insurance company called. The loss will be somewhat mitigated.

I never did get a call back from the police.

  1. How much do you pay for Paleo Bread? Is it worth it? I am glad you are getting reimbursed for the amp. Now you can get something bigger and better. Love you

  2. $10/loaf. At this price point, it is dramatically overpriced. Unfortunately, that is still as cheap as I can get it. Is it worth it? That depends. It is good, not great, and it is bread-like, not what I would consider a real bread. It is also frozen. It doesn't toast up like regular bread, the slices are very thin and small.

    I love it.

    As to the amp, an exact replacement has already been purchased. Bigger was not desirable, better was not necessary. I won't get all my money back, by a long shot - the insurance money (which will be less than 50% [possibly a lot less, I don't have an amount yet] of the replacement costs, when it comes) will just take away some of the sting. Everything I lost has already been replaced, I've already moved on.
