Help Ryan Jonik Recover Stolen Items

Hey everyone, my name is Jaison Chahwala. Most of you know me throughout the NIN community as someone who has contributed a handful of things to the community over the years.

As many of you are already aware, one of our community pillars, Ryan Jonik, was robbed of his U-Haul during a cross country move. Many items were stolen, damaged, and will forever be unrecoverable.

Ryan Jonik, as many of you already know, created the Nine Inch Nails Live Archive that is a historical source of Nine Inch Nails live performances and such. I am hoping the community can come together and help Ryan recover some of those items lost and restore some faith in his venture.

No contribution is too little. Thank you.

Below is latest update from Ryan:

After quickly going through stuff as I repacked the new uhaul. There is a lot there…. But a lot not there… I’m happy and I’m sad, all at the same time. I should be looking at the positive that stuff was found. But also enraged that some dickhead did this.

My print book/portolio is gone. Which had a lot of posters from shows I’ve been to over the years. Some signed stuff… all the palladium prints. The two palladium prints I had framed (including the friends and family one) was also gone. My prized poster of Atlanta 2018 signed by the band was gone… Tokyo 2014 print gone…. Just so many things…. Year Zero ammo box absolutely torched and bent. Don’t know where the contents are or the top. I’m just on the verge of tears always. Don’t care if I’m a grown man. Shit sucks. Other stuff of my wife’s stolen… seeing coffee mugs my grandpa used when I was a kid that were the only thing I kept when he passed just shattered… seeing all of the cards my wife and I would give with encouraging words or appreciation (we both save every card we get from each other) all over the fucking place…

I’m tired… thankfully, my dad was so kind enough to get a flight to come help me. Whether you like it or not, doing this alone sucks a**. I’m really grateful he would take the time to come out here.

I won’t know the extent of the damaged and all that is missing until we go through all these torched boxes. A lot of audio video gear is here, but also not. If that makes sense. I’m just exhausted.
