Pensylvania progressive metallers Black Crown Initiate are in need of help from fans. They had their van parked in a lit parking lot in St. Louis, Missouri while they were eating and came back to find the van had been broken into.

Here is the official statement form the band:

To all of our dear friends, unfortunately were just robbed in St Louis Missouri. We were in a restaurant for 40 minutes and all of our belongings and money were stolen out of our van in a well lit parking lot. Priceless items were taken including laptops, passports, laminates and personal effects. Worst of all, five thousand dollars that we made on this tour is gone. We have to go to Europe in 3 weeks and need as much help as we can get.

We undoubtedly worked our selves to the bone on one of the best tours we've ever done, only to have it swept out from under us. Any single thing you can contribute helps us. All of our cash from the tour is completely gone. We're working our way home out of our own pocket. Thank you in advance.
