DALLAS (CelebrityAccess) Dallas police are looking for four guitars and a harp belonging to Nils Lofgren that were stolen before a Friday night performance.
Somebody broke into Lofgren’s van outside a Holiday Inn between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, according to investigators. His tour manager, Bob Weber, apparently discovered the break-in Friday morning when he went to the parking lot to load the van. The loss was estimated at around $10,000.
Lofgren, known to many as the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, said he was devastated by the robbery but proceeded to take “the roof off” at The Kessler, which presented “An Evening with Nils Lofgren – Solo Acoustic.”
I’m am devastated by this robbery. These are my first shows out after a very difficult year. Please consider a retweet. Alas, the show must go on. @KesslerTheater it won’t be the show I was planning on. However I do plan on taking the roof off. https://t.co/ZTopXD7grQ

Lofgren and his wife tweeted out photos of security footage that allegedly show the culprit.
As for the replacement guitars, Lofgren called upon a Dallas friend named Dr. Howard Kweller, who drummed in a band with Lofgren when they were in middle school and arrived at the Kessler with his guitars, according to WFAA News.
