When:

Short story:

Iron Maiden's van with all of their equipment, is stolen in London, UK.

Full article:

Dennis Willcock (vocalist, Iron Maiden) : Vic Vella, a friend of mine, used to look after the van, and he parked it at his work, but there a guy in there who knew what was inside it, and decided to steal it with his mate.

When we had all our equipment stolen, the majority of it being my PA system, everybody assumed that the band would fall apart, but the coppers traced where the equipment had went to because, believe it or not, of footprints in the snow left by the thieves. They turned out to be fans of the band.
