Stolen van returned to Macon musician
A couple weeks after getting back his prized guitars, a Macon blues musician now has his van again.
Guitarist Robert Lee Coleman said Thursday his 1998 Chevrolet Astro van is back in his possession after it was picked up by a wrecker service on West Highland Drive. The van, along with three guitars and an amplifier, were stolen May 25.
Praise the good lord. I got my van back she is a little worse for wear but she is back :)

Coleman credited a Macon Guitar Center employee with helping get his guitars back when two men tried to sell them the day after they were stolen. Two men face criminal charges after attempting to sell the guitars.
“I am still missing the amp but hoping it will soon show up also,” he said in an email to the Telegraph.
Coleman has performed with musical legends such as Percy Sledge and James Brown.
