STOLEN VAN
Donation protected
Hi! Yvette here -
I can't believe i'm writing this 4 days before tour in this predicament. My bandmates and I were in Oakland on Saturday 11/5 in a recording session and at 6:45pm, our van was stolen directly from the studio parking lot. Somebody had broken in and hotwired it.
I had just purchased this 2007 Ford E350 superwagon with my own personal money as an investment for this upcoming tour. I wanted me and my crew to be 100 percent safe. We are so blessed to not have had much gear in the van aside from a drum rug, but we are taking a huge financial hit now for this upcoming tour being 15k in the hole and then having to scramble to rent a van last minute.
We are basically at this point looking to just recoup the cost of the van at the very least. I know times are very hard for everyone, but we are down to the wire and this has been a big unprecedented hit. My heart goes out to anyone who has had their van or gear stolen. It feels terrible and violating, and I am frankly exhausted.
Below is a screengrab from the security footage we got of the person driving away.
