Maybe I'm old or something...

…but how on Earth does someone walk out of Musikmesse with a god damn Minimoog under their arm? I’ve heard tales from others in the industry that the “public day” of Musikmesse was the day all your shit was stolen, and having spent a lot of time in Frankfurt, I don’t find this hard to believe on the surface. My general impression of that city is that it is basically Pittsburgh with an opiate addiction and a nice coat of paint.

What I don’t understand is how this sort of thing happens year after year. I mean, why do exhibitors even show up on “public day?” In all honesty, if Audio Damage were exhibiting there (which we would have no reason whatsoever to do in the first place, of course) I would just fold up shop on the last private day and go home, because I’d like to return with all my laptops, thanks very much.

In any event, never mind that. What I find amusing is the fundamental stupidity of this person, who is obviously not a musician of any sort. I mean, anyone who knows synths (and would thus be interested in buying this) knows that there are only a couple Minimoog OS units in existence right now. I guess this gives proof to the theory that the vast majority of criminals are simply not very bright. If they were bright, they wouldn’t have to be criminals.
