Maple Street guitar theft
Earlier today, a guy just walked out the door of Maple Street Guitars in Atlanta with a Guild 12-string. They have posted security video on their Facebook page and it is unbelievable that this guy just walks out with a guitar. Be on the lookout folks. Maple Street is a great shop and this is sad to see.

Circulate the pic please.
The owners of Maple St. are fine people. I bought my first and favorite Goodall there several years ago. I hope this oxygen thief is found quickly.

Guitar theif
We used to hang horse thieves.......
I'm just sayin. The folks at Maple Street are great people. I hate that they have to deal with this. Athens isn't that far from them. I'll definitely keep my eyes open.

link to MSG stolen guitar video
Hey guys,
I checked out their FB page and the video does not appear to have been posted on YouTube, so the best I can do is provide a link to the page. Here it is: https://www.facebook.com/maplestreet...7078354482182/

I will keep a lookout on reverb.
I bought a Martin 000-15 from MSG in 2014 and it was a great experience. Would gladly buy another Martin or Taylor from them.

Reminds me of the old days. There were a group of thieves that would travel down the west coast hitting guitar stores with the distract and snatch routine, travel to the next city, trade the stolen guitars or sell them outright to the next store while they were stealing more.
They snatched a couple Martins from Gryphon. Two days later, different guys walked into the store looking to sell a couple of clean Martins. Trouble is, they got their wires crossed and walked in with the Martins they stole two days before. While they were being appraised, cops were called and they spotted a van with out of state plates. Turned out to have a dozen stolen guitars in it. Cops walked in and arrested the guy at the counter. They just lost track of which guitar was stolen where. This was way before information traveled so fast.
