In December we posted a story from the Athens Banner-Herald that reported an apartment theft in Athens, GA. In addition to many other valuables, one of the stolen items was a Tom Petty box set.
We posted the story on TomPetty.com in an effort to help try and identify the victim of the robbery so we could replace their box set.
We are pleased to announce that thanks to the help of fellow fans we were able to identify the victim of the crime as Ian Hebel and his Live Anthology box set has now been replaced. Tom even autographed it for him.
Here is Ian posing with the new box set and his friend Kevin Trudel.
Cheers Ian!
