Yet another band loses a van to the ne'er-do-wells. From
Young Rival's
blog:
"I got home from the studio around 2:30AM last night after dropping off all of the guys, and checked through some e-mail before hitting bed. I turned off my lights, and just before I fell asleep I heard this thudding noise… which sounded like the noise my dog sometimes makes in his sleep when he’s having an awesome dream, (and his tail wags against hallway closet door)… so I ignored it. But then I heard it again and suddenly realized it was coming from outside. I had that super sudden gut-sinking feeling… knowing right away that someone was trying to break into a car, so I ran to my window as quickly as I could, and pulled up my blinds only to see our beloved Winston Vanimal peeling down the street."
Fortunately the band didn't lose much in the way of gear, just some drum hardware, and the band's neon sign.
