Get it on Facebook. If you arent on get on. In here you might hit 2500 people, on facebook you might get 25,000,000 views or more once people start sharing it. That's only 1/10th of North America, you can bet more use it.

Best bet.
I’d be dropping off pictures of the guitars with your phone number at all of the pawn shops in the area.

RCMP wont do anything because they need more evidence aparently. Ive had the same thing happen to me in Vancouver once. Cops wouldnt do anything even though I knew who stole my laundry. I ended up just going to her apt and taking my clothes back. No underlying issues.... my friend has carpeted the internet and I am just helping

Tell your friend, if you have located someone selling the stolen goods and the RCMP will not assist you go first to the Sargent at the local station. If he still won't help file a formal complaint and go over their heads direct to K division. Talk to your local MLA and your County Councillor and ask them to get involved. If your account is accurate what you have is a lazy cop who won't do his job. Outside of the cops getting involved it isn't going to do much good to get social media involved, you already know who has the stolen items. Your only other choice is to go get them back your self.

You need the Louisville Slugger Collection Agency. They’re by far the least expensive and most effective means of recovering stolen property. I keep one of their agents on retainer.

RCMP are famous for ignoring property crime. Poor boys might be overworked, underpaid, unloved, tethered to Timmie's, you name it. They tell you to call your insurance, we ain't investigating anyone. That's an issue.

Hmmmm I had a few issues as I live out in the bush and they show up, take reports and in many cases took care of the problem, never had a problem but then again I was willing to work with them.....only time I had a problem was when I was the problem.
Funny how that works eh?

A buddy had his house broken into and his 3 handguns stolen. Calls RCMP and they say they'll send someone out there in a few days. This is IN TOWN, so buddy says should I be careful not to touch things so they can investigate properly? Phone dispatcher says nah they won't do much of an investigation, don't worry about that... by the way how did you store your guns?

Soooo are you saying the OP's friend didn't ask nicely? Just how nice would she have to ask to get the guitars back? Is Level 1 nice good enough for one cop but you need Level 2 nice for the next one? Who gets to make these decisions? Maybe you explain which degree of nice necessary, the OP's friend gets her valued heirlooms back. Thanks for your help!
