Gents, I don't have a comp at home, obviously, to reply so I can update you from work. He came out of the coma yesterday, he is going to be alright. I talked with several members of the family and they are going to bring up where my stuff is when it is appropriate at the hospital. It is more than likely at the drug dealers house and I did find what part of town he his dealer lives in so I've been calling those pawn shops. I had serial number for the computer so it is already in the system when pawn shops run the thing. As for the guitars, me, my brother, and my bass player, none of us had serial numbers for the guitars. Now that I know he is going to be OK, my human empathy towards him has turned to outright rage! Being a musician, I have many many friends that are........lets say........ types that know how to get stuff done and I am not beyond calling in a few favors. I will not allow this young man to watermelon in my castle and get away with it! I am a single father of two and I get no help from the mother and I don't have the means to over come this kind of loss easily. I appreciate the support I am getting from you guys very much. I can't help but feel the need to beat the ever living watermelon out of this punk! I know that I will not do something stupid as to jeapordize my freedom and my ability to take care of my children, but God as my witness it is hard to fight the need for vengence knowing that he walked through my house deciding what he would and would not take from me to get one fix! I did find that it was not Meth he was shooting, it was cocaine! Again, I appreciate all the kind words and support from you guys, I can't tell you how humbling it is to know that there are so many "good" folks in this game.
