STATIC-X have announced that their warehouse space — which they share with the band DOPE — was recently robbed of nearly $200,000 worth of touring equipment during the coronavirus lockdown.
A police report has been filed with the Los Angeles Police Department, and the two bands were advised to take the story public in order to help raise awareness with other small business owners and bands alike.
STATIC-X said: "We want to encourage our community to keep a close eye on your property and on your facilities during this unprecedented time… We also ask for our fans to keep an eye out for the stolen items and maybe we can help the police find these people. With most of us in lockdown, and those who aren't locked down, wearing masks in public, apparently it's a great time to be a thief."
STATIC-X has released a list of stolen equipment, complete with many of the serial numbers. The list includes multiple LED video panels, two drum kits, more than 40 cymbals, various pieces of high-end audio and video gear, microphones, racks and backdrops.
