Robbed Flynn

Machine Head's front-man Robb Flynn is not a happy rocker. Yesterday afternoon while Robb was picking up his son from school, his house was robbed. The burglars stole his wives jewelry, laptops, wake-boards, cash, and most importantly 4 of his guitars. One of those guitars was the one he recorded Machine Head's first album "Burn My Eyes" with. They also took a guitar that was a gift from Dimebag Darrell, which Flynn used as an inspiration when recording "The Blackening". To make matters worse, they also stole his son's mini Flying V, which Flynn had given to him for Christmas.

This is a statement from Robb Flynn, regarding the robbery:

"I am offering a $1,000 reward for the return of the Black Ibanez strat along with many stickers, a "Designated Drinker" sticker. Additionally, I am also offering a $2,000 reward for the safe return of the blue Washburn Dimebolt prototype."

"An APB has been put out to every Guitar Center in Northern California and the Police were able to get several fingerprints off of the 2 acoustics that the thieves handled, yet bizarrely left behind. Sightings of two suspicious vehicles have been reported, one a green/teal U.S.-make pickup truck, the other a white full-size work van."

"If anyone sees or hears of anything on Craigslist, eBay, at their guitar shop... anything, anywhere! Please contact us immediately at mike@machinehead1.com."

Here is the coverage of ABC7, who were awesome enough to help Robb Flynn regain his stolen items!
