From PITCHFORK MEDIA:

As a rule, people just shouldn't fuck with dinosaurs-- not even junior ones. Sometimes, however, bad, bad thieves break the rules and steal gear from Dinosaur Jr.'s trailer, which just plain sucks. Them's the breaks, but they shouldn't be.
The incident took place last night outside of Dino Jr.'s Long Island City, New York hotel. A list detailing all the missing instruments and equipment is being passed along via Internet-- view it by clicking "MORE". If you or anyone you know has information regarding the whereabouts of the gear, please contact Bart Dahl here. There has been no word of any show cancellations.


Missing:

Guitars:
*1959 Fender Jazzmaster 38927 (description: "decal coming off. cracked headstock at top near low E peg. color black with purple/bluish sparkle coming through. adonized pick guard gold metal. tuneomatic bridge gold, tuning pegs gold.")
*1961-3 Fender Jazzmaster 62012 (description: "purple sparkle, black pickup covers. headstock repaired, a whole new piece of wood was glued on for the top part of the headstock under the tuners and up a 1/2, along the whole top of the headstock. gold tuneomatic bridge, gold tuners")
*1964-5 Fender Jazzmaster L21581 (description: "orange, white pearl pickguard, stickers were all over it, original tuners")

This kind of gear is irreplaceable. I'd have a guy in the bus watching over the trailer. Bands are fucking stupid sometimes.

To be fair, gear thefts in NYC and Portland are pretty damn aggressive. It probably wasn't that bad a locale. Short of driving the van and trailer into the lobby, or putting 2 goons with shotguns in front of it all night, there's not much you can do to stop gear stealing assholes.
