Hi everyone,
Had my beloved 615-Ce ( serial # 20010406119) was stolen in 2005 and I have been searching for it ever since. Thought I would try the Forum and see if I could get any ideas or help. The Police have not been able locate it. It's been gone a long time, but I have not given up hope. The Home Invasion occurred in Quincy, MI and was purchased from Woodwind & Brasswind in South Bend IN. I really miss and share in the love for these well crafted instruments.
Welcome, and sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like you did the proper thing in notifying law enforcement about the theft, but do you know whether it's been reported to Taylor? It may be a long-shot to finding the guitar, but if Taylor Customer Service knows that the guitar has been reported as stolen, they may be able to help in finding it. If it ever comes up for sale, and a potential buyer does what I usually do when considering a used Taylor (i.e., call Taylor for information on it using the serial number), Taylor may then be able to get information on the seller and notify you and/or law enforcement.
Also, if the thief was foolish enough (or a subsequent buyer unlucky enough) to [re-]register the guitar with Taylor, they may already know where it is.
Good luck in recovering it!
