    Hi,

    Today I was robbed. After DJing in Wax nightclub on South William Street I went to Charlies restaurant on Georges Street. In the 30 minutes I spent here, my bag of equipment was stolen. The bag was directly beside the table I was sitting at and was not left unattended. Charlies have at least 6 CCTV cameras in the establishment. <snip> I realise this is a long shot but if anyone was in Charlies between 2:45am and 3:45am and saw anything I'd really appreciate any information you may have. All the equipment is useless without the cables and software which I have so the theft is completely pointless to them but obviously not to me. Also as a side the Gardai were on the scene within 5 minutes and were extremely helpful so thanks to them

    T :(

    Cheers, probably should point out I was sober at the time, undoubtedly questions will follow as to how someone can't notice a bag go missing from beside them but it happened to me anyway. Again I'd appreciate any help

    Sorry to hear about you're stuff getting knicked.
    <snip>
    Also,try to find out if it's possible for the guards to obtain cctv footage from the street outside,or else footage from the fronts of the other businesses on the street.-You could spot the thief walking by carrying your equipment bag.
    If the equipment really is useless to the thieves without your software etc.,you should have a search in the nearby area as the bag could be dumped nearby.
    Mention it on the local radio for all businesses and locals to keep an eye out for it.Describe the bag etc.
    Hope you get it all back.

    Sorry to hear that OP:(

    Bastards, I hope their kids get hooked on drugs :mad:

    If you have any serial numbers and can give a detailed description, contact places like 'cash converters' so they can keep an eye out. Also keep an eye on the 'buy&sell and EBay.

    I know a load of DJs around town and in the radio game, if you want to PM me a detailed description of what was lifted, I'd be happy to flag everyone and ask them to keep an eye out.

    Thanks for the advice. Marcsignal I PM'd you the descriptions so any help would be greatly appreciated. It looks like the external CCTVs would be my best option alright

    Good advice to contact Cash Converters.

    I would say that would be their first port of call.

    A bit of advice for anyone with equipment like this.

    when you first buy it, write your details on it with a UV pen, then unscrew the main cover, and use the same pen to write your details on the inside of the cover also.

    The Gardai may find it raiding some junkies house, and they usually will check.

    ;)
