It must be something in the water: We, as Philadelphians, LOVE to steal musical instruments. (And sell them for drug money.) The latest victims of this great source of civic pride are San Fran noizeniks Film School. Seems that after their show at the Fire last night with Cloud Room ó shit, how the fuck did we miss that? ó the whole van got ganked down by the Delaware Ave. Comfort Inn. So you know the drill: Look down your block, shake down the crackies, and see what’s up. And if you own a pawn shop, may you enter into the seventh circle of hell if you fence this shit. Oh wait, you’re already there.

After the jump, the list of what done gone.

Film Schools details on the van and gear stolen.††Someone should just camp outside those pawn shops on South Street:
