Just a quick update to yesterday's Portugal. The Man saga, a good news, bad news scenario. The good news is that the band has recovered both its stolen van and trailer, according to a Tweet sent out this morning. The bad news? Both were empty. Which means that there's a boat load of gear still floating out there.

For a complete list of stolen gear, check out this Craigslist post, or the spreadsheet the band sent out yesterday. Meanwhile, a question remains: How does a van and trailer fill of gear get stolen in an attended parking garage without anyone noticing?
