To make a long story short, two weeks ago after a weekly gig I played at a cafe here as a DJ, I packed everything into my car (2 backpacks and a large speaker) and drove over to another bar to wait for a friend and move around somewhere else briefly. I had all my stuff hidden and found my window busted and 2 backpacks missing, containing my mixer/laptop/camera/lenses/etc and nothing else in my car missing, including a $800 ish QSC speaker that wasn't stolen, some emergency money in my glove box in case of accident that wasn't stolen and a $300 flash in my arm rest that wasn't stolen, so it's very safe to say they were in and out in 5 seconds. I think I was followed from the first spot by some crooks who recognized me from somewhere else or saw me packing up 
orrrrr some bitter ex-girlfriend or saboteur that doesn't like me shining
To sum it up, I work freelance as a DJ and also photograph for a local newspaper, which makes me recognizable to some people who see me out. Maybe I'm just being paranoid and some lucky crackhead came up on some expensive items by chance and I wasn't actually targeted. I don't know, I may never know. I don't make a lot of money and haven't found a job since I graduated college in december, so this is my only way of making money. I've still been able to work a few events borrowing gear from friends, but I can't rely on that.
I am posting this as a subtle cry for help from a website I've grown to consider a part of me and my youth. If you guys have the smallest amount you can help with, I'd really really appreciate it. I can send you some records on vinyl and I'd eat the shipping charge, just give me your social media profiles and I'll "curate" a choice based on what you seem to like, I have a big collection.
As a sidenote, I've done everything I can to find the stolen stuff. Asked a good amount of pawn shops in the area if they have anything for sale and sent craigslist emails posing as a photography class student, hoping I can run a sting of sorts on a thief if they popped up, but nothing promising has came up. Would sure like to smack some skin off their face if I ever found, would even run to NT to help with backtracing and internet policing them but I have no real leads. Wonder if I ever
I'm still trying repiece and plan the next few weeks of my life so I can bounce back quickly, I just need some help. I'm sorry if I typed too much, just want to give a heads up on the situation. I appreciate any support I may receive from you guys.
