Letter from a Thief

"Letter from a Thief" is the second single from Chevelle's album, Sci-Fi Crimes. It was released on December 7, 2009. Chevelle originally debuted this track on April 9, 2009 at a concert in Atlanta.[1] Frontman Pete Loeffler said the song is about a personal experience for the band when their gear was stolen in Dallas, and his prized red PRS guitar seen in the video for "Send the Pain Below" was stolen, along with the rest of the band's gear, and returned by a man in California who returned the guitar to PRS after learning it was Loeffler's.[2]

gollark: Hmm, yes, fair, and not having Java would cut down on the size.
gollark: I suspect this may end up needing a lot of extra things to work properly, but OH WELL.
gollark: And probably a way for CC to run host commands.
gollark: And networking, I guess?
