Hot Club De Paris appeal for stolen guitar

And it's not just the Flaming Lips getting stuff stolen. Hot Club De Paris have appealed for help in recovering a guitar stolen from their gig at the Bastard club (no, that's not a typo) in Berlin on Saturday. Writing on their MySpace page, the band said of the instrument, belonging to the band's Paul Rafferty, "it's a Japanese Fender Baritone Jaguar Custom in sunburst. It was stolen in a black AdLib Audio flightcase that has silver metal round all the edges. We are trying our best to find a way of finding the culprit but if anybody who was at the show knows anything or saw anyone who wasn't us taking a guitar, could you please let us know? We leave Germany on Monday evening... if you could mail us at [email protected] we will be checking it while we are here. Thanks Deutschland, we are counting on you".
