Indie crime wave: Now it hits the UK

After one of The Dears had all his stuff pinched yesterday comes news that The Cribs have been relieved of a drum kit and a microphone at the Glasgow Admiral:

We don't care about the mic, although it's still not cool to nick stuff like that off a band touring on a really small budget, but we are really bummed out about the snare drum. It has a lot of sentimental value.

"We know that it went missing from inside the venue after the club checked the CCTV, and there was only 200 people in the club, so someone must know something about it."

Well, someone must know something about it on account of how they currently have a drumkit ("a Rogers vintage snare drum in a 2-tone blue burst finish") that doesn't belong to them. All information to ensure a happy reunion of band and kit to be dropped off at The Cribs MySpace page.

Keep 'em peeled.
