The shipping manager of a New York City musical equipment center and two alleged outside accomplices have been charged in a scheme involving the theft of expensive gear, including a replica Van Halen guitar.  Police charge that the two accomplices placed orders for relatively inexpensive equipment that the manager then replced with high end equipment before shipping the shipping labels.  EVH produces a limited edition Frankenstein guitar that is an exact replica of the axe Eddie Van Halen owns that sells for up to $25,000 (story).
