12 String Gibson Guitar

why is it so wrong to play guitar?

i was at my friends house in her garage playing my guitar just having fun and this guy comes and brakes my guitars i had 4 guitars at her house and 3 vox amps i had a 1964 rickenbacker autograph by john lennon a 1959 gretsch autograph by george harrison and autiograph by ringo star and a 1967 gibson les pual autograph by Paul McCartney and a 1963 rickenbacker 360 12 string autiograph by george harrison he grabe them and just smash the hell out of them all he was 7 ft tall buff and punch me in the face broke the amps and guitars what do you call that i had to earn all that money for the guitars and the amps

Nothing is wrong with playing guitar. I hope you know where to find this guy and have a witness because you need to sue the h*** out of him. You need to get those guitars appraised by an expert as they were before they were broken and have him put the value in writing. Then, get the courts to demand he replace them, (which is impossible) or pay you for their value!
