According to the Daytona Beach News Journal, the guitars are owned by Jack Baker who kept them in unit 455 at Hyde Park Storage Suites, an "upscale storage facility." The manger believes Baker may have left the unit open, as there was no sign of forced entry into the unit.
The News Journal also reports a missing guitar signed by the Rolling Stones, but it's not immediately clear if Daytona Beach Police are still looking for that one, as it wasn't mentioned in their tweet. The guitars are estimated to be worth about $19,000 total.
