Hi,
I am writing this post to alert everyone to two guitars that were stolen when I relocated for work to India in June 2021.
The guitars were a Mayones Regius Core 7 and a Sugi DH496C. Attaching pictures from my social media account so that you can see what they look like.
The guitars were bought from users @theguitardudes (Mayones) and @steveng89 on Carousell in February and April 2019, respectively. My user name on Carousell is @mechanevil.
A year later, I spotted it being sold by Guitar Connection in Peninsula Mall, thanks to an alert by a friend. I then made contact with the owner of the store, Kelvin Ho, to explain the situation .
You can see the conversation I had with Kelvin, as well as his conversation with the seller after that.
No problem with Kelvin, he was honest with me and last we spoke, we were both waiting for the police to finish their investigation.
Please note the use of the word “chain purchase” by the seller. It means one person sold to another person, sold to another, and so on, till it reached Kelvin. Everyone makes money on the way.
I have lost hope of being reunited with these guitars after three years of waiting for the police to help after a complaint was filed. That is why I am finally making a public post about these guitars.
That said, I am still following up with the police. Hope springs eternal.
If anyone needs proof of ownership, you can check with the sellers I mentioned whether I legally acquired the guitars. There are also multiple pictures and videos of the guitars on my Instagram account under user name @mechanevil from before they were stolen.
Also, for the purpose of proof for the police, I shared a copy of my shipping manifest that clearly state that the guitars were in my consignment being shipped to India. I have also shared with them copies of my customer complaint with Chennai customs, and have proof of my complaint with the logistics company.
Just want to let people know that if you spot these guitars, they are stolen goods.
Thanks.
