City Slang: Party-goer steals from Seger

20-year-old Andrew Thompson was arrested on Tuesday and charged with stealing from Bob Seger’s house during a party thrown by Seger’s 16-year-old daughter.

As Gawker put it, what the hell was a 20-year-old doing at 16-year-old girl’s party?

But anyway, Thompson is alleged to have taken some cash, a Rolex, a pair of sneakers autographed by Shaquille O’Neal and, biggest of all, a 1978 Gibson Les Paul that featured on Bob’s Greatest Hits album. Police say Thompson admits to taking everything but the guitar.

“It mysteriously showed up right after I talked to him, but he denied he took it,” Orchard Lake Detective Darrell Betts said to CBS Detroit. “That was my main goal, getting that guitar back … It’s priceless.”

Apparently, the man/boy is known to the Segers.

“They trusted this kid,” Betts said.
