ORCHARD LAKE, Mich. -- A rock n' roll legend wants his guitar back!

Michigan police said a 1978 Gibson Les Paul was stolen from the Orchard Lake home of Bob Seger.

Police said the guitar, seen on the cover of his greatest hits album, disappeared between August and October, while the Segers were moving.

The instrument is worth about $10,000! The rock legend said it is irreplacable.

"I'm sure to Mr. Seger, it's a priceless item... and something that he would definitely want back," said Chief Joe George of the Orchard Lake Police Department.

Police checked pawn shops, music stores, and the internet.

So far, they have no leads.

Police said the thief also stole a Shaquille O'Neal autographed show, a Wii gaming system, and a Pandora bracelet.
