BREAK IN, Guitars and Bikes STOLEN by FretsMakesMusic

My storage unit was broken into last night around 8:40 and a number of very precious things were taken including two of my hand made guitars and a few bikes.
I am putting this out there in case anyone sees anything. I have pictures of most of what was taken and of the thief linked below.

Bikes:

Red Specialized Rockhopper
Pics below. Serial number P0514470
It has a cargo rack installed that is finished in truck bed liner, a front fender, red bell, it will have a mount for a light on one handle bar. The handle bar covers are red and black aftermarket as is the seat. It has toe cage pedals

Vintage Sears 3 speed
Pics attached serial number 503.47 380
It is a three speed bike with a sturmey archer system. It has a old chrome cargo rack and a old but cheep brooks saddle.

"The Chief" beach cruiser bicycle
Pictured below. Unknown serial
This bike is unridable at the moment. It has flat tires, a bad chain, rusty gears and possibly other issues. It has a little sun damage. I just got this one to fix up for a friend and hadn't had the time to do the work .

Guitars:
Blue Handmade telecaster with set neck and 24 frets "AJ" logo on headstock
Pics attached, this has no serial number but it is a very unique guitar I built as part of my luthier education at roberto venn school of luthiery. It is very precious to me.

Mediera by guild 12 string acoustic
pic attached of similar looking guitar. Mine has a chip out of the faceplay on the upper corner of the headstock.

Turn of the century parlor guitar with while oak back and sides
This is a VERY old guitar. It has a half finished crack repair for a very serious crack on one of its sides.

Turn of the century ukulele
I unfortunatly do not have a picture of this instrument, but assume it may be with some of the other stolen items.

Lyle Hummingbird copy
Picture of me playing attached. This guitar has seen some unusual work. The headstock is painted brown and the bridge has had its saddle slot plugged and recut.

Mitchel acoustic electric with no bridge
No pics of this guitar but it is also a low priority. Its only value is in fixing it up. It has a very nasty bridge tear out situation and the bridge is off the guitar and presumably still inside the guitar where I put it for safe keeping.

Blue Johnson acoustic
Pictures below with me playing it. This is not a valuable guitar. Its value to me is purely sentimental. It was one of my first guitars. It will likely be missing some parts and not strung up. The bridge has been sanded down and it has had its neck converted to a bolt on. Lagbolts hold the neck from the inside.

Vintage red flattop Silvertone parlor guitar with dot inlays
No pics of this one unfortunately, but it has had some unique work done to it. It has had a modern refret and its painted on inlays were replaced with real inlay dots. The fretboard was dyed black. It may be with the other stolen items.

No pictures of this
Epiphone, black with butterfly
Pic attached of similar guitar. These are not common, only a few thousand were made and this one has some damage to the binding around the fretboard.

Yamaha acoustic
No pics of this guitar but its one of the non-japanese yamahas. Its not a high priority but may be with the other stolen items.

Partscaster guitar with redburst paint job and acoustic epiphone neck with rose painted on pickguard
No pic available. Should be in an old gig bag
This guitar was build out of a old epiphone acoustic guitar neck and a body that was probably off of an old harmony electric or maybe a teisco or something.
Its got 1 tone, 1 vol and a single gold humbucker pickup. Ih has a black pickguard.
