Police have recovered the stolen K-ON! guitars after they were dumped in a ditch like so much worthless moeblob trash, the thieves only having shown any interest in the contents of the stolen safe.
Unknown thieves stole guitars, figures and a safe filled with $3,000 in cash from the school used as a backdrop for top moeblob anime K-ON!
Two days later police found the guitars, figures and the now very empty safe tossed in a nearby rice paddy ditch, along with a discarded crowbar. Police noted a number of footprints in the field.
The flagrant disposal of the items suggests the thieves were not great K-ON! fans, likely realising there was no way they could safely sell such goods.
The condition of the items is not stated, but after spending some time at the bottom of a muddy ditch it is likely they are ruined.
Reminds me of the time this studio's key animation got stolen, where it was displayed. The funny thing is, similar cases happened really frequently in the past, and the studio owners, in frustration, put up notices to beg the thieves to stop.
