In case anyone doesn't follow that last point, this is from Kingblind:

REM guitarist Peter Buck's signature guitar has been stolen from the stage
after a gig at the Finnair Stadium in Helsinki, Finland, last night
(September 9).

The band are appealing for information on the whereabouts of the black
Rickenbacker 360 guitar, which Buck has used consistently since the band's
debut 1982 EP 'Chronic Town'.

A spokesperson for the group explained that there's a "generous" reward
waiting for anyone who can recover the instrument.

"This instrument means a great deal to Peter and to REM. It is our sincere
hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information
which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous
reward, no questions asked," they said.

Anyone with any information is urged to email fanclub@remtour.com
