California's Strung Out had their van, trailer, equipment, etc. stolen yesterday in Philadelphia. Drummer Jordan Burns has posted the following information via the group's website:

"So our van and trailer just got stolen from our hotel here in Philly around 7 30am. We had just checked in and no more then 20 minutes later, Chris happen to look out the window and see our van driving out. Sure enough, it was skidrow motherfucker ripping it off. So we have lost ALL of our equipment, all of our merch, tons of personal stuff and we are pretty much fucked and stuck in a shitty Days Inn in a fucked up part of town in Philly. There was a double homicide 2 blocks down the road that we were watching about on TV so ya, not a nice part of town at all. Anyhow, if you live in Philly, please be on the look out for our van and trailer. Its a light blue ford E 350 15 passenger van with a white trailer with white rims. There is a bull skull mounted on the front of the grill. We are trying to think what to do. We will figure out how the show must go on though because we for sure dont want to or are we thinking about canceling the tour. We have a lot to figure out here."

That sucks. That happened to my band in Jersey, but luckily our label ponied up the $$$ for new gear. I feel the pain.
