Overview
- Moonchild’s rental truck, which the band parked outside hotels on Oakland’s Embarcadero, was stolen Wednesday before dawn in a theft captured on video that showed the U-Haul driven away within minutes.
- The trio postponed California dates in Berkeley, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego, then set new shows for July 29–30 and August 1–2.
- Band members said Apple AirTags hidden in instrument cases pinged across Oakland and San Leandro before the trackers were found tossed in bushes, indicating the devices were removed.
- The group estimates replacement costs in the six figures with only partial insurance coverage, and a GoFundMe raised more than $43,000 within a day.
- The Oakland Police Department is investigating a stolen-vehicle report with no public confirmation of suspects or recovered gear, underscoring the risks touring artists face when parking loaded trucks overnight.
