In 2010, Machine Head’s Robb Flynn had one of his most treasured possessions - a Dimebolt guitar given to him by the late Dimebag Darrell in 1997 - stolen from him when his house was burgled. Six years later, it found its way back to him.

Holly Cherry paid just $10 for an unclaimed storage unit, and discovered two guitars hidden behind a pile of old car parts. With the help of a few friends, she discovered that the guitars had belonged to Flynn, and reached out to him.

"I opened up the email,” explained Flynn in a very moving video, "and I looked at it and it was my fucking guitars… Fuck I cannot thank you enough.”

"You just gave me goosebumps,” said Cherry.
