DJ's $15K Music Collection Stolen

A western Pennsylvania optometrist who moonlights as disc jockey says someone stole a significant chunk of his music collection during an event over the weekend.

John Guzzetti was working as the emcee for an event Saturday at a Beaver County performing arts center when someone stole more than 1,000 compact discs from his car. All that's left of the alphabetized collection are artists S through Z.

Guzzetti says the collection is worth between $15,000 and $20,000. And he says he didn't keep the collection backed up on a computer.

The misappropriated music could mean the end of Guzzetti's deejay career because he says he can't afford to replace it all. Fortunately, Guzzetti says other members of the local deejay community are offering their help.
