reward for Zoes thingys! Anybody got a lead???

   Sat, June 27, 2009 - 12:59 AM
Our car was broken into on thursday, and David and I and are trying to recover our valuable and irreplaceable performance gear. We just want it back, we are offering a reward, and no questions asked. The items are:
a turkish banjo with a thin neck and a round wooden head, with a pick-up
3 dance costumes heavily decorated with coins and beads, one black and white, one gold-ish, and one black with fabric floral elemens and old keys on it. All are covered in antique jewelry
About 12 large and heavy silver indian bracelets, antique as well
Two metallic scarves-covered in silver thread with designs
A metal box with fancy trims and rhinestone flowers in it

We need these things to perform, and without them we are having hard times indeed! Please if you can help us, we will be so grateful!!!!

ZOe

Argh! I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you filed a report. Checked Craigslist, or even posted a "stolen" ad. Check the pawnshops in the neighborhood. Where did this happen?

I get so sentimental about my things. These kinds of events make me ill. I hope you are able to recover all that has been lost.

i will totally help you,
and remember that the negativity of being robbed will be most certainly be overcome by the kindness and support of your friends.
and i think its a great idea to post pictures so everyone can see the items and check ebay for them.

Zoe, I'm so sorry! I agree with posting pictures -- I'm sending positive energy that the universe will bring you back your things. I was talking to someone who had a similar experience and she said her car insurance helped pay for some of the stolen antiques... I'm not sure if that was just her insurance or not, but it might be something to look into.

Good luck, hon! I'm so sorry again.

Where did the theivery take place?
I bet they show up on ebay !!
Let's face it - if the shit heads who did this want to sell them......they're gonna run into the Belly Dance community.
No performers could ever show up wearing original Zoe costumery and not be noticed!

Hoping your lovelies find their way back to you both

Though I do really hope for the return of your things, you both performed fantastically at Sonic Bloom without them. They are just things, and you don't need them to be great : )

I am so sorry to hear that that happened to you!! That is horrible :(

I believe you were in Santa Cruz the Wednesday (night) before, am I correct? I live down the street from Moe's Alley and I saw your performance (awesome btw!!) but I will definitely keep my eyes open, esp if you were still near this are when the break-in happened. I wish you luck!

Zoe could just throw up for you right now. I'm so sorry!

I have a piece of cream colored assuit, its not antique, and its not particularily fancy, but its 100% intact and its yours if it will help. I'm not using it right now and I would be honored if it could serve a higher purpose :) Just let me know if you want it and where I can send it :)
