"They knew what I had in my garage and they knew they wanted to get at it," says Aaron Simmons, Singer-Songwriter.

Aaron Simmons came home to a broken lock on his garage about a week ago.

He found out that most of his sound gear for his band was stolen out of his locked apartment garage in South Fargo.

Now he's warning others that this can happen to you.

Aaron Simmons is a local country and folk singer and songwriter. He is also the lead singer in his band.

Recently, he bought some sound gear worth $2,000 and stored it in his apartments garage.

Things took a sour note because that gear was stolen from his locked garage near Veterans Boulevard in South Fargo.

"Whoever broke into it punched out the key hole, ripped the wires through and then connected the wires and got in there," says Aaron Simmons, Singer-Songwriter.

Simmons says he's shocked and upset that something like this happened.

"It's just an unfortunate situation because it's going to be hard to come to terms with the fact that it's probably not going to resurface. I would like it to, but it's probably not going to," says Simmons.

But he says he's learned his lesson.

"Now I'm going to be more mindful of the things that I put in my garage and I have to find a place to put other things," says Simmons.

He says he hasn't put any of his other equipment in his garage, because he thinks the thieves might come back and get the rest of his stuff that they weren't able to get before.

The Fargo Police Department recommends people to not keep valuable stuff in their garage because they say garages are easy to get into. They also recommend to install security cameras.
