You beat me to this message. I just got a email from the Supeersuckers fan club that described the theft. Here is a quote from the email:

"Sometimes it's good to just get away, ya know? I'm writing you from
France where we are starting our European jaunt today. You may or may
not have heard about our recent and biggest setback of our career, so
here's the scoop: last Saturday night (or early Sunday morning, I
guess) our van and trailer were stolen from right in front of my house.
Yes, all of our equipment was in there and we now have next to nothing.
It's so huge that words just fall short. We feel like these thieves
have stolen from you, the Supersuckers fans, as well. After all it was
you, by coming to the shows and buying our records, who bought this
great sounding, vintage gear for us to sound so good through and now
it's all gone. So if any of you out there have heard or seen anything
that could be of help to us, please let us know. All that gear is going
to be real expensive to buy again and if we're using cheap, crappy
amps, the fans at the shows will be suffering right along with us.
Let's hope that doesn't happen! So far the outpouring of support for us
has been overwhelming. The guys at 107.7, The End and 99.9, KISW have
been awesome - having me on the air to describe the van and trailer and
I did a show for The End with the guys from Rancid last weekend and
even they knew of or situation and offered to let me borrow their
guitars if I needed to. It feels great to know that local radio cares
about local bands, (even if they can't play our songs!) and that bands
will always lend a hand when something like this happens."

I hope they find it. I love those guys.
