Far too many musical instruments are stolen from the parking lot. Folks think putting their drums in the car and locking it will keep them safe. Wrong! Leaving your drums in the parking lot is an invitation to the bad guys to take them! I once made the mistake of leaving a duffle bag full of drum stands - heavy stands - in the car. I figured it was just the stands - they are far too heavy and not valuable enough for anyone to bother stealing. I was wrong. The bad guys smashed the window and pulled that bag full of heavy-metal right through it.

When you finish the show - if you can’t leave your drums on stage, in a locked room of the club, or under supervision - take everything back home, to you rehearsal studio, or hotel room and lock it up – out of sight, out of mind.
