Montreal Musician Ian Kelly Pleads For Return Of Stolen Hard Drives With New Album

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 06 Jan, 2016 12:27 PM

Montreal indie pop-rocker Ian Kelly is offering a reward to anyone who returns stolen hard drives containing the only copies of an album he was preparing to release.

On his Twitter and Facebook accounts, Kelly says the hard drives were swiped from an SUV in Montreal's Park Extension on Tuesday between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET.

The singer-songwriter says the master copy and its backup were taken. They contain about six months of work.

"Please, do not wipe the content of the hard drive you took from a white Chevy Traverse tonight on Wiseman!" he wrote.

"I know many people have bigger problems but I had 6 months of work on those HDs. Please contact me and I'll give you 1000$ to get my hd back," he wrote in another post.

Kelly's last album was 2013's "All These Lines."
