This really happened yesterday in practically my backyard: http://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2018/05/30/a-gun-a-machete-and-a-stolen-guitar/. As the great Dave Niehaus, the dearly missed Mariners play-by-play guy, would have said: My, Oh, My ...

Would love to find out what kind of guitar caused the great chase. :?:

Well, what can you buy at GC for $1,600? Not a PRS. :D I think they went for a Gibson thinking the value would go up after they finalize Chapter 11. Or would that be too sophisticated? :D

What's messed up is my daughter works one block away on Westlake, but she would typically be gone by 6pm, although not always. Other than the traffic, this is a very nice area with many Amazon business offices; but you can almost never get away from traffic in Seattle.

Just when I thought I'd heard everything, unbelievable.
