Huge Bummer for These Arms Are Snakes

From a Myspace bulletin making the rounds:
Hey dudes, These Arms Are Snakes got there van and trailer stolen last weekend. Help them out. If you see the van and trailer hit them up via myspace or their email below:http://www.myspace.com/thesearmsaresnakes

“I guess it happens to every band at some point. Our van and trailer were stolen from the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle at some point between the afternoon of Saturday the 13th and the evening of Sunday the 14th. The good news is that none of our equipment was inside of it at the time. The bad news is that we’re not insured for theft. So if anyone happens to see a 15-passenger dark gray Ford van with a two-axle trailer attached and some meth-heads cooking up drugs in the back, be sure to let us or the police know. Strangely enough, we were getting ready to take it in for repairs because we couldn’t get the damn thing to start. Hopefully whoever solved that problem in the process of stealing it will also fix the leaking radiator.”
Bummer! But at least they still have their equipment- getting that stolen is so much worse.
Any bands reading this, let it be a lesson. Always empty the van and trailer of all equipment. Don't leave it sitting in there, even if your drunk, tired, it's 4am, and the van is parked in front of your house.
Seattle will fool you. You could go years and nothing happens (unlike some midwest and east coast cities), but eventually something bad will happen.
Good luck to the fellas in getting their van back. Seems like they usually do end up recovering the vehicle when a car gets stolen here in Seattle. That's why it's great their gear wasn't in the van too.
It's always tragic when a band loses their gear.
