A SOUND WELCOME TO TEXAS

All the instruments and sound equipment of the band The Black Lillies disappear in Houston

The Black Lillies, a rising Tennessee roots-rock band, was in Houston for a Sunday evening gig at the Dosey Doe music hall just north of Houston near the Woodlands. After the show, they loaded all their instruments and sound equipment into a trailer. They parked their 2011 Ford E-350 passenger van and the trailer in the parking lot of the Quality Inn near Bush Intercontinental Airport where they were staying. In the morning they found – poof, like magic – the van and trailer had disappeared.

The hotel’s surveillance video showed a black SUV pulling up next to the trailer around 2:30 a.m. and the van and trailer leaving less than two minutes later.

The band reported that the van and trailer were worth $30,000 and that it would cost them $75,000 to replace the missing instruments and sound equipment.

Howdy podners, ya’ll welcome to Texas ... Houston, Texas that is.

If you ever want to have your truck stolen, just buy a Ford F-250 or above. It is the thief's favorite. It is the only big truck that doesn't have a chipped key and can still be started with a screw driver.
