Following a concert in Fort Worth, Texas, Chevelle learned that alarms are just as important on trailers as they are on vans or cars when they discovered that their trailer, which contained their guitars, drums, merchandise, pretty much everything they need for their current tour, had been stolen from their hotel parking lot.

 

From their MySpace page:

 

lets get the THIEVES


We regret to inform you that we are unable to perform our scheduled tour dates (until further notice) due to the entire trailer full of pretty much ALL our gear we own getting STOLEN TODAY 05/09/2007 from the Clarion Dallas Park Central hotel at approx 11:00 A.M.

If anyone has any information, or sees a light gray KZ Cargo trailer, with an Illinois plate 57002. Please call 911 or your local police authority.

Most items are labeled "chevelle" and if you notice anything suspicious on ebay or other online resellers selling "authentic" Chevelle items...Pete's guitars, Dean's basses, Sam's drums, amplifiers, risers, backdrops, tee shirts... please call the police ... or email:

thestolenchevellegear@hotmail.com

Any information would be greatly appreciated...and we hope to see you soon...but it will take some time to get all our items replaced.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Lets catch these crooked &^*^%!!!

I still don't understand why Chevelle felt they had to censor themselves on their own blog. In the meantime, shows in Lubbock and Amarillo, TX have been canceled, and shows in Odessa and Austin, TX and Boulder, CO are currently listed as tentative.

 

 

If you see these items on eBay, call the police immediately. Then make note of every bidder on there and point and laugh at them for bidding on Chevelle gear.
