Higgins says his vehicle, which was parked in the King Street parking garage, held nearly all his music equipment, which he stored “out of sight, covered with a blanket.”

“I've never had any issue in my history of having gear in my vehicle overnight in Peterborough, but I'm feeling gutted now,” said Higgins in a Facebook post.

Items that he has reported stolen include:

• Epiphone J-200 Guitar in case

• Yamaha LJ-16 Guitar in case

• Blue Montreal Expos duffle bag

• Boss VE-8 pedal

• Microphone stand

• Shure Microphone

• Yorkville XM400 speaker tower (3 pieces)

• Harmonica and mount

• Manfrotto Camera Tripod

• 4FT × 4FT James Higgins logo banner

• Pvc piping banner stand

• Acryllic Tip Box with my logo on it

• 150+ custom logo guitar picks

• Custom logo vinyl die cut stickers

Higgins has reported the theft to both the parking garage security and the Peterborough Police. He asks that if the community comes across any of these pieces, which are often equipped with his custom logo, to contact the Peterborough Police.

“I will not be cancelling any gigs,” continued Higgins. “I will figure things out. I just wanted to spread the word.”
