LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Officials say a rash of recent burglaries has left them searching for tuba thieves.

South Gate High School music teacher Ruben Gonzalez Jr. told the Los Angeles Times that thieves broke into his band room and took only tubas. Losses included an upright concert tuba and a silver sousaphone — or marching-band tuba — worth a combined $13,000.

"Did someone say Banda Music Craze?"...

This just goes to prove the media bias in music.

There has never been any reporting about the ongoing and so far unexplained disappearances of bagpipes.

I’m thinking that also...everything that isn’t nailed down is being stolen.

Safer than stealing electrical cable from power stations.

“Melting them down for the metal value?”

No, it’s Mexicans stealing them because like the article says they are used in a form of Mexican pop music.
