A Manx musician who's had all his gear stolen in England says he's been told there's little hope any of it will be recovered.
Tomas Callister was playing gigs in Yorkshire, when he stayed at a quiet hotel in the country – only to find thieves had broken into his car and taken everything inside.
He says his bandmates also had audio equipment and instruments stolen.
Tomas says he's spoken to police in Yorkshire, who were not too optimistic:
