Stolen Banjo and Pennywhistles

Hi all,

I was in Portland, OR on 01-28-2006 when my Epiphone MB-250 banjo was stolen out of my car along with my two Michael Burke pennywhistles.

The banjo has a custom head on it, setting it apart from the look of other banjos. The banjo was in a black Gold Tone case plastered with stickers. However, if the stickers have been peeled, the case still says "Gold Tone" on the outside and is very faded 'cause I tried to remove it. In the case is a Intellitouch tuner and a Levy's brown leather strap. The banjo has a Shubb 5th String Capo and Fishman Rare Earth pickup mounted on it. The SN is: X96015538. I've posted a picture at the Banjo Hangout (http://www.banjohangout.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=46591).

The Burke pennywhistles were a DBSBT (Brass D) engraved "12 of 2003" and an E Aluminum Pro engraved "8 of 2003". Pictures of his whistles can be found here: http://www.burkewhistles.com/index2.htm

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help or extra eyes out there. Thank you, thank you!
