Our soundsystem held a midsummer beach party in fife,scotland. During which our generator(borrrowed for the occasion)was stolen,leaving a couple of hundred people very upset at having their night ruined.imagine if you will-a dj in mid set-off goes the power-by the time a crewmember got to the generator,only the sound of a fading engine could be heard.What kind of scum would do such a thing,to go against what the free party community stands for like this is beyond MY comprehension

Given that the free party runs on cooperation and trust,i think the theft of our generator is a crime not only against us ,the soundsystem,and the owner(it was borrowed in good faith)but also against our loyal party goers,who’s night was ruined at midsummer.It is in this spirit of cooperation that i believe the free party community can best take action,by boycotting any club nights or parties run by or featuring the people who stole our generator.First among the theives was David Mitchell aka DJ Mitchell aka Mitch-a DJ from Kelty his club nights are mainly in Edinburgh-clubs are-“Rotation” and “Digital”,which have been held at a number of venues through the city.Also in on it was Mitchells girlfriend,Shona-she drove the getaway car and one of thier crew-a guy called Hilly from Kelty now in Dunfermline.As if the theft wasn’t enough,he has now sold it on-for a tidy profit no doubt!-this guy is ripping us ALL off-let’s put a stop to it.

Don’t worry Dr Bunsen we’re not the kinda people to go off half cock.We made sure that the reports coming in were checked and to begin with no-one wanted to believe it as the guy who stole it was at one time a respected mate of ours.We have also confronted him(in a non violent way)and given him the chance to return the genny with no questions asked,we were refused.

I hope you beat the thief into a stupor. I would make him march around my next party w/ a sign that says ‘I am a thief’

That is truly shocking mate. I’m glad you are back on your feet.
I’ve heard of generators going “missing” but never DURING the party!!!! Just live in the knowledge that you are obviously denting his oversized ego so much that he has to stoop to do such a thing. Lets hope his club nights fail misserably.
