sorry if already posted,
from Pitchfork:

Every once and a while a story comes across our desk that lifts the spirit, invigorates the senses, and reinforces our faith in mankind. This is one of those times.
Back in July of 1999, Sonic Youth were victims of a robbery when a ton of gear-- guitars, amps, the works-- was stolen from a Ramada Inn parking lot in Orange County, California. At the time, Lee Ranaldo wrote an open letter to fans, giving them a heads up: "Our guitars are all mostly older and either very modified and/or fucked up/beat up. They are unmistakably ours." One of the lifted items was Ranaldo's Fender Mustang-- you might recognize it from the band's "Macbeth" and "Mary Christ" videos.
And then, almost exactly a decade later, the orange/red ax was apparently found by a dude from the Netherlands who goes by the name Sauerkraut. Reps for Sonic Youth haven't confirmed any of this yet, but, really, we kind of can't make this stuff up...
