Bad News

face_close_iconhi everybody, I was just about to hit you with a massive super post with
what's been going on, but that is going to have to wait.

When Riss got home tonight she found that we'd been robbed. It could have
been worse, but it's pretty bad. They got my computer, her laptop, the dvd,
and the tivo. All the electronic gear is no biggie, but the computer had
everything I'd ever done for the Panic Channel, including the website. All
of our rehearsal mp3's, all my band logo and artwork. That's the stuff that
hurts. So the band site will be in that form for the forseeable future,
because well, it's gone. I, like a moron hadn't backed up a thing since the
band started. Rebuilding the website from scratch. That's gonna be fun.
They didn't get the amp and guitars which is mysterious, but wonderful. And
I have cd's of "Project P" even though the demo files are gone. The cats
are fine, I have my guitar, and we will get all back up to speed ...
Sometime.

Holy shit Steve! sorry to hear about that man! that well and truly sucks. But, trying to be an optimist here, at least you two are all right and the axe's weren't snagged!

Crap good luck on the reconstruction of stuff. I've lost everything before (not through robbery, computer crashes and being a dumbass and not backing up) and know that's a whole world of not a lot of fun. If there's anything reconstruction of site/logo/etc.-wise I can help with, let me know.

My prayers and good wishes to you. Hope they catch the fuckers.

I'm sorry to hear that Steve. Don't know what to say.

no fricken way...

Crap.
I feel for you, man. I really hope you find who did it and get your stuff back. Question EVERYONE! Gather clues! Leave no stone left unturned!
So it's just the electronic gear you mentioned that was stolen? They didn't totally strip you and leave you without furniture oreven food in the fridge or anything, right?

Sorry for the double post, but just thought about this. Didn't know if you got my last email or not prior to your comp being snagged. If you need me to resend for the info contained therein, just tell me where and/or when.

Hope you guys are doing ok, or ok as you can be under the conditions.

wow, how whacked...
don't give up on finding this shit.
the guitar would have been way more replaceable than the computer... damn.

i'm so sorry Steve and Riss. i'm really speechless.

=(

hey Steve, maybe a Tarot reading will give some insight into the situation (if you're into that type of thing)? I could do one for you and email the results. :D

M.

Christ Steve, I hope you are both ok, and not too shaken up; that is really bad news.

It really is truly horrible to feel so violated.

Jesus that is so bad, losing all the stuff you've worked on so much.

Love and Peace be with, hope you get some sort of comeback

Nooooooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyy!
Ah man Steve and Riss, I'm sorry for you two. Bein robbed is the worse thing I fear sometimes, (knock wood). I know it's only material afterall, but knowing someone else has been in the place you live, and stole your personal stuff is something that upset me so much! I wud hate that. Hate those guys!

I know it sounds stupid ,but if there's anything I can do to help, you know you can count on me, even if I'm miles away.

Best Regards,

FreAk*

Steve and Riss~ I am so sorry. I had a bad feeling, like something had happened. :(
I feel so bad for you. I am glad the cats are okay. That's a plus at least.
Steve, you're not a moron though. I've had an art portfolio stolen years ago, and never would I have thought someone would take something like that. I mean it just isn't the type of thing you think of.
Those bastards probably took whatever they could carry.

As FreAk said, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

Hugs and love to you and Riss

Steve and Riss...

Wow....I am so sorry to hear that news. I hope the both of you can find a way very soon to get things back on track. You have each other, (oh yeah...and the cats too!!!) and that's the most important thing. Man, I could kick someone's ass for doing that...
My prayers are with you.

Kev

So sorry Steve & Riss...nothing more awful than having strangers invade your home. My thoughts are with you...if there is anything any of us can do, please let us know.

My most positive energy sent your way! i too have lost everything unexpectedly, due to a flood. Not fun! but over-come-able.

Hate to use a cliche, but everything does happen for a reason! If i did't believe that, i'd be in serious depression right now.

If there is anything you guys need, just ask, i'm sure all of us will do whatever we can!

Hi Steve

That is a shit thing to come home to.Really sorry that all your hard work has been taken,that really sucks,i feel for you.

First thing i thought of was "oh shit,the purple amp"

Material things can be relaced but all your work and effort you put into it....those fuckers,what comes around goes around....thats what i say when i get fucked over...they'll get theirs and i won't even have anything to do with it.

Hope you get your stuff back.

You know evryone will be patient and understanding until you get the site rebuilt

Hey Steve. that sucks. big schweaty balls. I have freakin' nightmares about this happening to me. my condolences man. what a shame.

Last time I was in LA i picked up this wireless network drive by a company called Tritton. it's like a hard drive with a wireless router attached. I bought it to stick in some closet somewhere in case people steal my shit, that i still have a back-up (away from the other gear). only problem is that I have to change wireless networks in order to do back-ups. stoo-peed.

Anyways, sorry to hear about this. I hope all else is well. much love.

Steve, I'm soooo sorry - I hope they find your stuff. I know it's terrible that they took your things but thank god no one got hurt and your kittys were left alone. Karma comes back to bite people in the ass and these people/person are going to get a shark bite when it finally catches up to them. Why would they leave your guitar and amp? Kind of makes me wonder if they thought that wasn't worth anything to them or if they were 'being nice'...

Good thoughts and prayers going your way -

~Melissa~

Steve and Larissa,
I was so sorry to hear that you had been robbed, but at the same time, so grateful that you weren't home, you are both safe, the cats are ok, and your music is safe.
Things can be replaced. I know you both must be feeling a sense of violation. Know that we all love and support you.

jezebel

all my support is coming to you Steve and Riss. i am so sorry to hear that bad news. hope everything's fine right now, your music is safe.
My prayers are with you,

love,
Obvious

Hi -

I was just checking Dave's site and saw the disturbing news about the robbery. I'm so sorry to hear that. It sucks when you've invested so much of yourself into something, only to have it taken away by some heartless, greedy scumbag.

Here's hoping that whoever did this gets what they deserve.

Be well...

-Denise

Thankful that you and Riss weren't home during the invasion... All things living and breathing weren't harmed, and that is something to savor.

I can't even count how many times I've worked hard on a project, only to have it be completely obliterated by a power outtage. I sympathize, Steve. I have felt the frustration you feel in having to start the website from scratch at least twice a year. I rationalize it this way: I am a creative. I get focused. I don't stop to save or back-up because then my creative flow may be broken. The IT guy... he's the one who's supposed to do the backing up, yeah. :-)

Shit Steve! Sorry to hear about your incident. Glad nothing that was taken though was irreplacable. Hope you get everything up and running soon,

laters,
Ryan

Ok, I wasn't going to say this except in a private email to Larissa, but I am just completely bugged by this....

Yesterday, I was at the 'hater' site, I know, don't ask why, and there was a thread about the Panic Channel site being up. In one of the comments, there was a guy who was asking if anyone wanted Steve Isaac's home address. It just seems like a little more than a coincidence that they were robbed the day after someone posted an offer of personal info like that. Here is the post...

Bad bad bad mediatemple.

Anyone want Issacs home address?


I know how easy it is to get paranoid after something like this happens. You suspect EVERYONE, that's the worst thing, it takes a long time for your feeling of safe to come back. I just think this should be checked out....
ok, I just care for you two, Larissa, you have shared your warmth and kindness, and Steve, your lyrics have touched me. Hugs to you both

Steve,

I am just speechless. Please know that if there is anything I can do to help let me know.

I'm sorry just doesn't cut it... My prayers are with you.

Anthony

who is determinedmoth and how does he have Steve's address? Who are the moderators of that forum? They should be checking his IP address to see his location and questioning him about that. Usually if they have that type of information people just innocently post things like that without intending any harm. They should know better though. We have someone with that user name on the RHCP message board.

M.

See, mouse, that's what I was thinking, but it's a HATER site. Just today, someone started a thread about Steve's misfortune, The moderators themselves are haters....I just think that in the wake of more serious stalker incidents, law enforcement needs to be involved

Hey, Maria, next weekend, baby!!!!
love,
jezzi

maybe someone just can't wait to see the site material that wanted to see them directly on your mac!

i'm kidding because i know that when i was robbed, when my girl was robbed, when my mom was robbed...
i've only felt hate. and hate is so noxious without a point of application.

i pray for you steve and riss to look forward
and buy best computers!
buy best tv
build a best site!

GO ON STEVE!

love
dozzo

p.s. iv'e found that about you!

it's really you that little nerd that was upsetted by "robbie nobori"??? ehehe

I was so saddened to read the news. I can't even imagine all the emotions you must be feeling. Like Freak said, if I could be a help in any way, just say the word.

I would seriously pursue that post from that other board. I find it extremely disturbing that someone would invest the time and energy into a "hate" board about anybody, but that's another issue. I haven't been to that board because I don't want to fuel negativity, but if someone posted something there that was harmful to you, report it to the police.

As frustrating, annoying and time consuming as it will be, technically, most of the stuff is replacable. Like you said, it could have been way worse. Just get yourselves together and don't stress about the site. None of us are going anywhere. Take your time. It can wait.

Spreading the love,
Deena
