I always carry my guitar as a carry-on, and was waiting at the carousel at BTR to grab my luggage. I decided to use the restroom immediately behind the baggage claim, and set my guitar on the ledge behind the furthest stall.

I was brining home a couple of large duffels worth of winter gear, so when I came back from the restroom, I had my hands full and didn't even think about the fact I had left it in the stall by accident.

Realized this morning what happened, and called Airport Police; no one had turned it in and they said they would "get back to me" if they were able to see anything on video.

Really bummed, plus I had 2 cartons of Dunhills from the Kuwaiti Airport I got on the cheaps. 400 luxury ciggies in the hands of some redneck who probably smokes Kools.

I just wanted to thank the low-life bum who stole my Martin; I've had it for 15 years and put a lot of great miles on it. I know a lot of posters here probably work at the airport, and I wouldn't put it past a sorry employee to have found it and not turned it in.

Nothing like kicking off a homecoming back in the Capital City like having the local criminals come out of the woodwork. That would never happen in a place like Oxford or Charlottesville.

So you just walked off and left a guitar in the bathroom?

Finders keepers, losers weepers.

Go up there personally and ask for video.

Possibly check with missing/unclaimed luggage?

Well Oxford only has a private airport.

And I'm sure they have the assailant on camera. You need to follow up with this.

Hypothetically, how much could you get for it if you had it and sold it.

Well, I mean, it WAS a Martin.
