Most thefts, however, pale in comparison — at least financially — to that suffered by Portugal the Man. On an August morning in 2011, bassist Zach Carothers, still recovering from a long night of drinking, awoke to his road manager Ian Shaw informing him that the Portland band’s van, containing nearly $100,000 of the gear, and which had been left at an attended parking lot only a day earlier following their Lollapalooza performance, was missing. “It was a moment of disbelief,” he recalls of staring at the empty space where the band’s gear had been stowed hours before. “It was definitely a rough morning.”

This is a good read. I remember when Portugal got their gear stolen, my twitter feed was going crazy.

How could a band no one has heard of be touring with $100,000 worth of gear? This is suspect.
