Very sad. The Mermen are a fantastic band as well as being nice folks, and this breaks my heart. There are folks that target touring bands specifically and follow them around waiting for their chance (the Pixies and Sonic Youth, for example, have had their ALL their gear stolen in the past while on tour). When I go on the road, I'm always the hardcase who demand hat ALL the gear be loaded into where we are sleeping. Lot's of grumbling, but I've still got most of my gear. I've also slept in the van/station wagon with the gear when necessary. You simply can't chance it. Gear grows legs and walks away (experience talking).
