My Bad Luck.
Posted on: 10.01.2013 by Benjamin Sieh
My DJ name is Zer0 the Thief, "I steal the show" is written on my business cards.
I live in Wilmington (voted the worst city to live in America)
So last weekend I DJ'd at a rather large house party. Everything had seemed to go great! Crowd was awesome, got some contacts, got paid well and everything!
Today is Thursday, and I have received a number of angry calls from the people who own the home accusing me of theft. They believe I stole the audio cables that were hooked to their surround sound, and various other small items in the room i was in. I have NO way to prove that i did not steal any of these items and now i'm looking pretty bad with these people telling everyone that I'm an actual thief.

So I am going to change my DJ name, as to avert some unwanted negative attention and avoid any similar situations.

But what can i do about this family accusing me of a crime i did not commit? I don't know where else to ask...

Loool!

Yeah lol, to actually chase someone up about missing cables in the first place is ridiculous IMO (unless your asking if they took them by accident). It's very serious to actually accuse someone of deliberate theft. RCA's and various types of cables go missing round mine and at parties I'm at all the time, it's just how things go, Especially If there's people switching gear about.

I believe it's hilarious that they believe you'd have a DJ name like that then actually steal stuff.

Drug addicts steal copper to trade them in for money. Just saying.

It's only like $2 for a standard RCA cable and there is bigger things to worry about, If they're hung up on $2 you should feel sorry for them being so helpless and move on. On that note I'm moving on LOL

14.01.2013		Yeah I believe they're still mad about it, but a little motivational talk from a lawyer shut them up real fast! Thanks guys!
And yes this is a hilarious story that I will tell my grand kids XD

Also the new name is DJ Danse

12.01.2013		Haha, sorry OP, but that story is hilarious. I bet you will tell that one to your grandchildren somewhen and have a hearty laugh. And it's always good to have such stories for that purpose.

11.01.2013		Back in days I was in sound renting business and now this reminded me on a situation. It was a home party and some f* have stolen my amp to speakers cables for one channel... Here's the best part - it all happened even before party was started ... Fortunately place wasn't too far and I managed to get spear ones from my friend. Never find out who was it btw..

11.01.2013		Well, there was no alcohol at the party to my knowledge.
I didn't steal any cables.
And I told my LB and he's got me all lawyer-ed up!

11.01.2013		either way this adds to your street cred. Learn to scratch and enter the DMCs. PZ
Jonathan Chiuchiolo
11.01.2013		Did you take the cables? you were probably drunk and don't remember that you unplugged them... I'd double check. If you did take them it's better that they say to their friends that you are honest as you finally realised you took the cables, you then went out of your way to apologise and returned them.

If you didn't steal them I'd suck it up and buy some more say your sorry it happened to them and it has taught you to protect the gear in the room better in the future. They sound like assholes who don't deserve it, but if you need to protect your reputation it's probably the best way to avoid anymore damage.

If they leave expensive/desirable items in the room prior to a party to show off it's their fault they got stolen. Most people invite randoms to their party to make it look like they have more "friends", but these "friends" are always more likely to raid the liquor cabinet, break stuff for sport and relieve you of anything they feel would look better at their home.

11.01.2013		I mean it sounds like they are really really slow.. LOL
Ok Moroski
11.01.2013		That sucks... but why the hell would they believe you stole speaker cables? They believe you can't afford a pair of RCAs or something? lol

Also, it was a house party. It sucks that stuff was stolen, but they're pretty stupid if they believe the DJ who was busy spinning all evening took them instead of some random drunk slob who didn't have shit to do but get frustrated chasing tail. Having thrown and DJed countless house parties, I would never assume the DJ to be the thief unless I had a very good reason to do so; it's just a terribly unlikely explanation given how busy they usually are throughout the evening . And if they believe you're a thief because you have thief in your name; really? What kind of idiot would WILLINGLY CALL HIMSELF A THIEF if he intended to steal something? It's jokes, really. Sorry for your troubles.

10.01.2013		You have no way of proving it wasn't you. They have no way of proving it Was you.
Pasty Vancor
10.01.2013		That sucks man. I will admit it's a bit funny that you're slogan reflects the irony of the situation.

As to solving the issue if they are being really hard headed about it I'd get a lawyer if you're word isn't enough to them...
