How to Prevent Your Band's Gear from Being Stolen
Bands are constantly getting their stuff ripped off in Philly while on tour. I’m sure this heinous scourge happens in other cities, too, but it seems to be a particular problem here.
My friend Chris (aka @bearbait) of Pattern is Movement offers up some tips for keepin’ your shit safe:
- Always travel with a trailer. You might think its easier to steal a trailer, but if you secure it properly – its completely safer than keeping your gear in a van.
- Once you purchase a trailer – your next purchase MUST BE an alpha lock. An alpha lock boots your wheel. Place one on your trailer and now, the criminal will need to either break the locks (but they cannot, see point 3) or pierce the skin of the trailer (but see point 4).
- Buy Hockey puck locks from Trimax. These locks house the chamber w/ the steel shell of the lock. These are the types of locks contractors use on their vehicles and are very hard to break. They def are drillable – but, if a criminal is bringing electric tools to steal from you, well then, you’ve made that criminal work for his/her booty – and you’ve got to give them a hand.
- So, all of those steps above should prevent gear from being stolen. However, in the unlikely event that it is – please buy insurance from the company MusicPro insurance. They do a great job and the prices are so low. My policy covers $15k for $160 a year! That covers your gear from theft!
And lastly, stay in Mount Laurel when you play Philly. Don’t even go to the burbs of Philly. You know your in the burbs when you start seeeing Courtyard Marriotts and Ruby Tuesdays. And use priceline for hotels. You can get a Courtyard in most cities for no more than $50!!!!!! Its worth it to you and your band.
Hope this helps.
