Pelican Robbed in Rome

Pelican is the latest victim of theft while touring Europe with Torche, which unfortunately is becoming an ongoing trend. Here is an except from their blog:
Our otherwise excellent tour of Europe hit a severe stroke of bad luck this week. Two days ago we had a spare half hour to spend in Rome before heading to the venue, so we decided to go see the Coliseum. We parked nearby and went to take a brief twenty minute walk around the area. When we returned to our van we found that it had been broken into, despite being parked on a major street in broad daylight. Four bags were stolen, the contents including computers, passports, wallets, ipods, our soundguy’s microphone collection, and, most devastatingly, a number of personal journals and two portable recording devices containing hours of song ideas that are now lost forever.
Pelican has set up a paypal account for donations: pelicanrobbed@gmail.com. You can read the rest of the post here.
