Band's van, equipment stolen after Lollapalooza

The band "Portugal. The Man," which performed at Lollapalooza Sunday night, is trying to prevent whoever stole their van and attached trailer from selling off tens of thousands of dollars worth of "irreplaceable" equipment by turning to social media.

The band released a list of the 96 items, including serial numbers, that were packed into their red 15-passenger Ford 350 and attached black trailer on Twitter Monday afternoon, and urged Chicagoans to bring the list to pawn shops.

The van, which has Alaska license plates FJH244, was stolen from a garage with attendants, according to the band's Twitter feed.

The van contained seven guitars, two bass guitars, eight amplifiers, numerous effects pedals, drums, cymbals and microphones among other equipment.

"Portugal. The Man" played at 5 p.m. on Sunday, and do not have another scheduled show until Sept. 2, according to their website.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
