Avicii's Laptop and Hard Drives Stolen From Hotel Room

27 January 2012 12 Comments Posted by

Blogs are reporting that someone has broken into the hotel room of Tim Berg aka Avicii. Many of you I’m sure remember when news broke that Sonny Moore aka Skrillex’s gear was stolen from his hotel room in Italy.

Avicii posted this message online:

First of all – the Rochester show was amazing! BUT – for those who haven’t already heard – someone broke into my hotel room while I was SLEEPING and stole my bags! In a hotel full of fans that was a creepy thing to happen. I really hope someone helps me find them. I just want my stuff back so I can keep producing on the road.

It’s sad, I respect Avicii and he must be devestated after realizing his gear is gone. These artists should honestly start paying their security personell to monitor their gear 24/7.

my money is on zomboy stealing it, needs some new tracks for the upcoming ep

Royce says:

Seriously, It had to be someone who worked there to do this.  The chances of someone being able to find out what room me was in and be able to get a card to open his door are just too small.  Someone who worked there got paid to do this IMO.

Jordan says:

I never even considered that. I def think you’re on to something…

Or it could just be guerilla marketing… *few weeks later* OMG NEW LEAK AVEECHEE TRACKS

Royce says:

Ooo. Not a bad thought. That would be a good marketing tactic.

Jack says:

Not a bad thought indeed. Weeds (TV show) did this with their premiere for Season 4; episode 1 got “leaked” on ThePirateBay and other torrent sites a week or so before release.

Jordan says:

Damn, didn’t know that…

Wow man. Unreal.

Patchwirk says:

Skrillex all over again.

Jordan says:

Yup. :(

Jack says:

Hopefully he isn’t a complete idiot and he backed it up, unlike Skrillex.
