Eya Seattle, I know my odds are slim, but I loved this guitar and I’m just trying to do all I can to try and get it back. It’s a Guild M240-E in a Gator case. It has some distinctive marks and such that I could describe if need be.
On my way to a gig this morning I gave up my seat near the front of the bus for an older guy who came on the bus with a walker, leaving my guitar in the luggage rack next to the wheelchair space. I stupidly forgot to grab it on my way out, realized as soon as I got off, called King Metro for advice and was able to catch up with the bus later in the route with their help. The driver told me the guy I’d given the seat to had taken it and exited somewhere along Airport Way. I held out hope all day that he might have intended to get it back to me – we’d chatted briefly, and there was all kinds of merch inside with my name, signs, notes with contact info – but I haven’t heard anything, and he didn’t say anything about it to the driver, so by now I’m assuming the worst.
So far I’ve called up some pawnshops and put out a notice on my Instagram. I’m not sure how or where stolen stuff gets fenced around here, but I figure the guy might just wind up trying to peddle it on the streets, so if anyone comes across it please give me a shout on here or @RobertLeslie on Instagram – I’d be willing to cover the “ransom”/add a reward, it has sentimental value. Thanks so much for reading!!
