Middle Distance Runner robbed January 19, 2007 at 03:40 PM UTC #

According to Instrumental Analysis , Middle Distance Runner had their van broken into in NY.

Yesterday, while parked in front of an elementary school in Brooklyn, sometime between 1:00pm and 5:00pm (the middle of the day), someone thought it would be nice to smash our van's side window, reach in and steal a bunch of our stuff. We lost 2 guitars, a bass, and all of our drum hardware. The drum hardware would be impossible to track down, and we are just considering that an immediate loss.
