Shane had his van parked in a school parking lot that was supposedly manned with a guard while he was gigging at a church in Oakland on Sunday 10/27.  Luckily he had his beloved bass with him but ALL of his other equipment was stolen out of the van - all his pedals, speaker cabinets, amp heads, as well as other valuables.  They completely cleaned out the vehicle. He lives completely hand-to-mouth and works very hard as a musician and a stagehand and is already in a difficult financial state so our support is very needed at this time to help him to be able to replace some of his gear.  He estimates about $2,000 worth of gear and other valuables (including his passport, and some necessary prescription medication) were stolen.
