*STOLEN* 1974 Fender Stratocaster Hardtail Natural

[Fenderman1]

Hey guys,

My beloved 1974 Fender Stratocaster was stolen on the 29/01/2026.

SN:577461

Two scammers using a fake Bank of Ireland app came to my home.

Please help spread the word and track my guitar down or even get the attention of other victims who can contribute to the ongoing investigation and help bring these scumbags down.

Please share and support.

Thanks

Sorry mate, but it’s your own fault for being too lax in your security.
I do hope you find the guitar, and nail these sods, but it’s probably not likely.
Unless Fretboard club together and organise a sting operation for the scum.

When faced with collection and payment of an item, always insist on a returnable deposit being transferred the day before.
Anything that isn’t PayPal or a major bank is to be refunded and look elsewhere mate.
Anyone visiting must also send a pic of their photo ID, like a driving licence, and their pic must match the person arriving.
Only allow one person in your home, and do not tolerate anyone constantly at your shoulder. If they can’t relax and sit down, then throw them out.
Also, Bank of Ireland my arse. What were you thinking? That is when you demand cash or leave my house.

I see on another site you found someone else’s CCTV of these bastard’s faces. If you had those photo ID’s, you would have your guitar back by now.

Your only recourse now is to register a crime number, and investigate your home-insurance cover.
Unless, like me, you feel inclined to visit a few traveller’s sites at 3am with a bulldozer.
