Ardleigh Green House, Essex - Be Warned
My friend had just finished his gig at Ardleigh Green House last night and after breaking down his rig started to load his kit into his van. He was gone only a few mins, but as he returned most of his kit had been stolen, via another exit to the building.
He is still unsure as to whether this was just opportunist thieves, or planned, so just be warned if you ever have to work here.
Sad times....

Silly question--was van locked?

Sorry for the confusuion, the kit was dismantled still in the venue (just after the gig had finished) and he was loading it from the venue to the van.
The thieves had waited until he's started to move it to the van, when they struck.

Disco Dude!
Sorry to hear stories like this in fact me and Dan were in Essex saturday night. I always break all my kit down ready before I go to the van to open it.
Any idea of the kit taken by the way. Its useful incase some members see said ideas on ebay/cash converters etc...

I think they got away with 2 new JBL 515's, 2 ADj TriLED Sunrays, HD with all his tunes, Sony Headphones, Revo4 and all his leads.
Grrrrr.

Very easily Charlie I've charity boxes stolen from my shop one for terminally ill children the other for a local hospice.
It should be a warning to all of us if there's another way in and out accessible by strangers, try and get the barman or someone to watch your gear when you're not, if you can.

Did the venue not have any CCTV or any staff around?

I think he's checking back there today with regards to CCTV.
