  fuck yeah :) grubb says At 6:45am today, june 5th, i recieved a call from the omaha police department telling me that detectives in their auto theft division had found and recovered our equipment. the feeling was unexplainable. elation, joy, gratitude, relief and so much more rushed through me like it never has before. at 9am bob and i went down to the police station and were taken to identify the equipment. every single piece of it -- down to guitar picks and drum sticks -- was recovered. it was one of the most unbelievable feelings we've ever experienced. two men whose names have been released to the media were arrested last night as the perpetrators in the crime. as the investigation is ongoing, that is all the information i am allowed to mention for now, but we can all only hope and pray that these men are put away for a long time so they do not have the opportunity to do this to anyone ever again.
i want to say from the depths of our hearts how thankful we are to the omaha police department, the council bluffs police department, the media, our families, friends, fans and the entire omaha-area community for their incredible support throughout such a dark time for us. it was so powerful and moving to receive hundreds and hundreds of emails and phone calls from people throughout omaha (and the entire country) expressing sorrow and offering support in every way possible. in many instances people i had never met in my life who had heard of our story through the media contacted us offering equipment to play, money to help us get back on our feet, and vehicles for permanent loan until we were able to afford a new one. one young fan of ours even offered his brand new guitar his parents just bought him last week. our friends in the omaha/lincoln/council bluffs music community came forth in droves offering anything and everything they could and many were in the process of putting together a benefit show for us. it was truly incredible. we extend our gratitude and thanks to everyone who offered condolences and support a thousand times over.
we cannot thank you enough as it was your support that kept us going and let us know we were not alone no matter how hard it seemed. in the end, it is the culmination of everyone's efforts on every level that brought us to this moment and it is a good day not only for GTO but for the entire community.
while our van was torched and is a total loss, we are grateful for all that we have had returned to us but most grateful, again, for all who stood by our side throughout this entire ordeal. the last few days have been grasshopper takeover's darkest moments and i am overjoyed to say now that this is our finest hour. SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY!!! grubb, bob, james and mike www.grasshoppertakeover.com
