Stolen RANDY RHOADS Memorabilia Found in North Hollywood Dumpster

Several items belonging to legendary OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist Randy Rhoads and his family were recovered over the weekend after being stolen from North Hollywood, California’s Musonia School Of Music, which was founded more than 70 years ago by Randy’s mother, Delores Rhoads.

Local resident Bobbi Fredriksz says she spotted a guitar and photos in a dumpster as she was walking her dog early Sunday morning. She initially didn’t think anything of it until she got home and saw a report about the theft on ABC7.

“As I was laying in bed, not feeling well, when it came on I was like wait a minute, oh my God,” Fredriksz told ABC7. “I ran all the way back over here it was still here. Somebody else started to see it and called police.“

The first electric guitar Randy ever played, a Harmony Rocket from 1963, and two horns that belonged to his late mother were stolen during the Thanksgiving night burglary and are still missing.

A few days after the theft, Ozzy personally offered a $25,000 reward for the return of his late bandmate’s guitars.

Randy Rhoads learned how to play guitar at Musonia. After his passing, Musonia now serves a dual role as a music school and the Randy Rhoads museum.

Randy Rhoads and two others were killed on March 19, 1982 when the small plane they were flying in at Flying Baron Estates in Leesburg, Florida struck Ozzy’s tour bus, then crashed into a mansion. Rhoads was 25 years old.
