Can you be more specific on the brand of cymbals - Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste ect? and sizes?
You should inform all the local second hand music shops - Eccles Drum Centre, Johnny Roadhouse ect. Be as specific as you can in the description!

Thankyou for the advice, you're a sweetheart. I do have descriptions but I think he's too upset to do anything about it now :( :( We were going to visit the music shops today but you can imagine what its like when you've lost your baby.

Am I the only person quite concerned by the proximity of the 2 cymbals threads? What information is being withheld from us?Mof knows more than he's letting on. We should demand the truth.

Well, maybe it was a garage or a special cymbal hut. I mean, f it had been the house they wouldn't have just taken the cymbals. Then again this could just be back-up for an insurance scam. But was it actually a baby, or a baby cymbal? Very confusing. A two-pipe problem I think Watson. :wink:

Is that where he got the cymbals from in the first place? You know, like Pizza? :conf:

Surely you'd have to be pretty stone deaf to not hear someone stealing your cymbals? Unless the owner was in the van at the time and revving his engines very very loudly and so unable to hear.......................

Sorted. Just spotted this on Crimewatch:

This afternoon, police arrested a band of cymbals heading up the hard shoulder of the M6 North. The leader claimed they had escaped from captivity where they had been ill-treated and beaten mercilessly. When asked where they were heading the leader replied they were on the Road to Percussion. :|

I suspect this is symbolic.

Or just bolics...

Come on, get it right will ya? The baby wasn't driving the van, it was asleep in a cymbal when the cymbal got nicked from a van. The girl wants the cymbals and the baby back but can't go to the cymbal shop because she lost the baby and doesn't know which shop it's at. What does she do? She posts on here where we know everything. Now come on, own up, who's got the damned cymbals?

Hey, I've just had a thought. Maybe somebody kidnapped the cymbals, you know, like Derek's garden gnomes, and want's a reward to get them back. Maybe there'll be a ransom note shortly?

Were they really cymbals? Or were they two bin lids, cunningly disguised as cymbals, like we used to use up Breightmet? Just wondering like.
