Beach Boys Memorabilia Stolen In L.A
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
An auction of Beach Boys memorabilia was canceled after representatives of the band told the auction house the items had been stolen from a North Hollywood warehouse.
The band's record company learned of the auction planned by London-based CooperOwen when the items appeared on the Internet, said Edwin McPherson of Brother Records, the band's corporate entity.
He said Thursday's auction was canceled "with about 30 minutes to spare."
The 28 lots of items included original sheet music written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love.
Police confirmed that a report had been filed about the alleged theft but declined further comment.
