A catastrophic robbery has befallen Josey Scott, the former frontman of the platinum-certified nu metal/hard rock group Saliva, and his comrades, as per theprp. Scott claims that on April 28, a trailer with “years worth of equipment” was taken in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Scott posted the picture and details of the stolen equipment, which included several guitars, drums, amplifiers, and other items, when he announced the theft. Scott started this GoFundMe to help the band recover after the heist. For the crowdfunding effort, Scott also posted the following video in which he went into further detail about the theft, revealing that stage costumes and other personal belongings were stolen in addition to the several guitars, basses, drums, and other goods that were taken.
Stolen van FULL of gear in Tulsa, OK! Please keep your eyes peeled for liscence plate 771-542K and any of the gear in the pics. If you see any of it, please don’t hesitate to call the Tulsa Police. Years worth of equipment, just gone.
Today, something devastating happened.
Our tour trailer was stolen — and with it, nearly everything needed to perform.
Inside that trailer was our band’s gear, equipment, merch, and essential items that make these shows possible. Years of work, investment, and livelihood — gone in an instant.
This isn’t just equipment…This is how we make a living. This is how we show up for fans every night.
Right now, we’re doing everything we can to recover what was taken — but the reality is we may need to replace a significant portion of it immediately just to keep the tour alive.
We’re asking for help from the fans, the rock community, and anyone who’s ever connected with the music.
Every dollar raised will go directly toward:
Replacing stolen gear
Securing a new trailer
Getting us back on the road ASAP
We sincerely need and appreciate your help,
Josey Scott‘s Saliva:
