This really sucks. What is the deal with everyone getting their shit jacked in San Fran. This has to be the 100th time I've read about a band being jacked in San Fran. Anyways I'll give $5.

I love playing the bay area but this shit is just getting worse and worse. Our van got broken into in the secure/fenced lot of a hotel with video cameras and a 24hr security guard.

I feel really bad for BOYFRNDZ, that's a lot of shit to lose.
