Among the items stolen was a custom-built, purple sparkle baritone Telecaster with a hand-painted headstock, made specifically for Nancy Wilson. Also stolen was a vintage 1966 Gibson EM-50 mandolin that band member Paul Moak has played for over 25 years.
Police in Atlantic City announced on June 10th that they recovered Nancy Wilson’s guitar. This comes after they followed 57-year-old Garfield Bennett, of Pleasantville, N.J., the man charged with stealing the instruments, per NBC Los Angeles.
According to police, Bennett "was observed giving the guitar to a woman who put the guitar in a vehicle,” per the outlet. Using an automated license plate reader, police pulled the woman over and she voluntarily surrendered the instrument.
The guitar, which has been temporarily handed over to Hard Rock Atlantic City representatives, will be returned to Nancy Wilson.

“The continued use of advancing technology and the hard work and determination from our detectives and patrol officers led to the quick recovery of one of the missing instruments,” said Chief James A. Sarkos in a statement on the incident, per NBC. “The Atlantic City Police Department embraces technology that allows our officers to investigate and combat crime.”
Although Wilson’s guitar was returned, Moak’s mandolin is still missing.
