Spotted this on the Guthrie forum last night, Dave Kilminster had posted the following on his Facebook page:

please keep a look out for two Brunetti heads (serial numbers 105 and 106) and two Brunetti cabinets that someone may be trying to sale on cheaply… possibly in Brunetti flight cases… Our van was broken into in Rome yesterday afternoon, and roughly £20,000 of amps, leads, guitar pedals and drum parts were stolen… including Seth’s favourite bass, that he’s had for twenty years!!! Fortunately ‘Rose’ was with me, and Guthrie still has his signature Suhr guitar..

Further to this Guthrie Govan has posted the following detailed info on the equipment stolen:
