"HELP People of Chicago and @Lollapalooza our van & trailer & gear where stolen. Red Ford Van, Black trailer Alaska plates FJH244."

The band has been repeatedly posting the news on the social network, and fans can see pictures of their van and trailer here and here.

Damn Chicago! I remember hearing that Torche's van was broken into last year in Chicago and all of their gear was stolen, too.

apparently the van and the trailer were found, but both empty. They have a list of all their stuff on their twitter @portugaltheman. Hope it all turns out ok.. they're a band that makes REAL music

Pretty cool band, I enjoyed their CDs though when I saw them as the opening act for Primus they didnt sound that great. But this sucks!!!! I hope they get at least some of it back. Whoever did this is a piece of shit of a human being

Their show at Lollapalooza was ****ing breathtaking and they were playing beautiful new equipment for it...Chicago is an awful place.

This is such a good band. The van was recovered but the gear was not. Why couldn't someone rob a shitty band like Staind instead of an awesome band like Portugal?
