Andy Biersack has years’ worth of Black Veil Brides memorabilia stolen in burglary
The thief targeted his home while he was asleep
Andy Biersack has had a years’ worth of Black Veil Brides memorabilia and ‘countless things’ stolen in a burglary at his home.
The singer took to Twitter over the weekend to share a photo of the alleged robber and to ask fans to let him know if they see anything suspicious on resale sites.
“We had a break in last night around 1 am,” Andy wrote. “The thief took years worth of BVB memorabilia including my STWOF stage outfits, countless things i have collected and hoped to share with my family one day. If you see anything on a resale site please let me know.”
He added on Sunday: “I appreciate those of you who have been so kind and supportive in regards to the robbery at our home last night. The items the thief took are just material things and while they have nostalgic significance to me, at the end of the day the safety of my family is all that matters.
“Also for what it’s worth I do not wish the person who did this any ill will, I just hope that they can come to understand the massive privacy violation they have put us through and I hope that my memories and personal effects that were stolen end up in the right hands one day.”
Revealing further details in response to fans’ questions, Andy wrote: “He came in through the garage and we were unaware of it initially. It wasn’t until we were notified by a neighbor mid day that a stranger was outside last night. Later we found storage torn open & nearly all of my BVB memorabilia/costumes were gone and my car trunk busted open.
“He did not take anything else, in watching the security tape footage (he covered up most of the cameras but 1) he was very specific in what he wanted and why he was there. He had 2 bags and filled them with jackets, pants, gloves, tour laminates, LPs etc.
“We were asleep when the robbery itself went down/never heard anything. He was quick & efficient. He picked the lock to our gate outside & wore gardening gloves, i guess to not leave finger prints. It all sucks but again, I’d gladly lose all my stuff as long as my family is safe.”
