Arab Strap have fallen victim to a robber on their US tour, the second time they've been involved in matters of a criminal nature.
At the end of March their support act, A Whisper In The Noise, were attacked and robbed, and now the Scottish outfit have had $6,000 of cash stolen while in Philadelphia on Sunday night.
The money went missing between the hours of 8pm and 10.25pm from a restaurant. Tour manager Teresa Murray said:
"The band and I were at Nick's Roast Beef Restaurant and I forgot my purse at the table and when I returned to the restaurant, all the money was gone."
No arrests have yet been made.

Who carries around
$6000 in their purse anyway?
It's a great shame though.
shame,
but they do have such things as banks in America. and ATMs.
fuck
I hate Nick's Roast Beef Restaurant, it ALWAYS happens in there.
Fucking Nick.
it happens when
you're fucking Nick?
hahaha.
YOU'RE ON iTUNES.
!
I suppose it'll give them more stuff to write about....
"$6,000 in my purse"
To be honest, anyone stupid enough to have that amount of money on them, let alone leave it on a table, deserves to get robbed...
well erm....
not really,i wouldn't say they deserved to be robbed. i can think of quite a few more sinister evil people who actually deserve to be robbed.
I walked through
The Gorbals with over £4000 on me today and managed not to lose it.
The first big theft
"So that was the first big theft of the weekend, starts Thursday as usual sitting in Nick's Roast Beef Restaurant, where again no one gets extra Yorkshires. Later on I do my sound-bloke routine by approaching some Red-neck waitress about the possibility of a shag.
Shouldn't have bothered....."
etc etc
..
maybe the waitress thought it was an extremely generous tip. Peddling roast beef must have seemed like a swell way to earn a living that day.
At least
It's another reason for Aiden to be misserable
