Thanks for the kind words everyone. No leads so far but I'm not giving up yet. I'm checking ebay and Craig's list every day and have some friends doing the same. I don't really expect to recover anything but I'll keep on trying.
The insurance thing is defiantly a lesson learned. I've looked into it in the past, even got quotes, just never pulled the trigger. I'll be regretting that for a while...
I left the studio Friday evening or the weekend and got the call from the police Sunday night. I went down to survey the loss and slept the night on the couch with my Walther P99 close by. I wish the mother fuckers would have come back. I'd have their heads mounted above my workstation right now. I spent the next day moving everything out of the building and Tuesday piecing together a temporary setup. I picked up a Firepod and put together a computer out of spare parts (Athlon XP2200, no fun after a dual Opteron)
A week ago I ordered a pair of these DIY reference monitors and I'm actually pretty impressed. I originally ordered them for home use but the timing worked out. I put them together last night and paired them with a old receiver I had. I used them today for reamping and mixing and they worked pretty well. The 6.5 woofers cant push the low end like the HR824s so I had to be careful not to over do the bottom. We had to track yesterday on headphones and crappy computer speakers

Sample
The band isn't so hot and the drummers sub-par (plus no time or editing) but I think tones turned out well for a new interface, converters, preamps, and monitors. Super quick and cheap demo, 4 songs, 2 days, 16 hours.
Anyways, kinda got of topic there. Thanks again for all the support and please let me know i you hear anything.
PS - I'll be selling the Firepod within a month or two. If anyone is interested in a new interface with very light use get in touch. dave@hellionstudios.com

Whats more, the cops are damn useless normally at least over here, so all you can do is keep your eyes open big style and hope. The reward is a great idea. Asshole burglars need money so bad of course they're going to turn their mates in if they can get 1000 bucks.
you are not afraid to shoot strangers, my friend.
) a guy that I caught breaking into my truck last year and after the cops informed me that it was illegal to defend my property, they basically coached me on what to write on the report to justify my actions. Theives don't learn from a mere slap on the wrist.
