Jordan Burns, drummer of long-running Fat Wreck Chords act Strung Out recently went into a little more detail about the challenges the band has been facing this tour as well as challenges that were punctuated by the brazen theft of their van and trailer in Philadelphia. In a lengthy board post, Jordan related stories of a guitar tech's arrest, a drum tech's emergency room visit, and addressed the common question as to whether the band had insurance for the theft of their vehicles and gear:

Insurance companys are ****ED and we will only be covered on the van itself. Our gear and trailer...were ****ed on. Its a serious bigtime learning lesson. We will get lojack and all the proper coverage next time around. Why are we in a van? Well because the cost of a bus is $1000 a day on average. We've toured in all sorts of different vehicles...we just didnt feel like wasting the cash on the bus this time.
