Crime doesn’t pay… at least when you don’t get away with it.  This is the case of the burglar who stole roughly $100K worth of valuables from Tom Petty’s San Fernando Valley storage.  He walked off with guns, guitars and hard drives that contained music (some unreleased) by the late classic hits artist.  According to TMZ, the hard drives and guns were recovered and police are still searching for the stolen instruments.
