Not sure where to post this.
Posting for a friend:
"PLEASE keep your eyes out for this drum kit & all the gear. It was stolen from my friends car last night in Vacaville! Please, if you see it being sold on any website, let the Vacaville, CA, police know! Thank you!"
It would help if you could post some more specific information.
It looks like the shells are Pearl, but which series? Cymbals? Hardware, pedals?
I check CL at least every day and I am about 50 miles from Vacaville, so I'll be watching.

Too bad.. Nothing worse than stolen gear.. I hope they find the culprits, as there was probably more than one person involved.. Looks like a nice Mapex too.. Sending some good luck vibes your way. ;)
Ugly situation. I'm not likely to see it, but will watch for similar on eBay or C-list. Back east, Daddy's Junky Music (out of business a few years ago) had a policy of putting some gear on hold for 30 days due to the issue of theft. As I recall, the City of Boston also required it on used musical instruments taken in by Daddy's because so much gear was being lifted. Definitely worth watching the used gear shops out there closely.
Be reminded to keep your gear insured and keep a good photographic record and details of exactly what you have and what it cost you to acquire it. A setup like that one could easily run toward $5k and more even with depreciation that newer gear is subject to.
Very sorry to hear this and will be on the look out for it up here in Canada as well.Sincerely hope this kit will find it`s way back to your friend and also hope the thieves will be caught.It`s usually only a matter of time for those guys to be apprehended, but unfortunately us innocent guys suffer in the interm.

10 years hard labor for the piece of garbage culprit..or at least 24 hours solo on a Yamaha/Rogers kit.
