The pair smashed a window in a door about midnight and reached inside to activate the push bar, according to Sacramento Valley Crime Stoppers. Surveillance footage showed a dark-haired man with tattoos on his arms wearing a black graphic T-shirt, black sweatpants and black-and-gold slides, and a woman with red hair wearing a black shirt, black skirt and black boot-style shoes.
Their haul? A French horn valued at about $5,000 and a cymbal/drum valued at about $800.
The duo may have gotten the right gear for the gig — presumably ska — but police were hoping someone could make the band by providing their identities.

The department described one suspect as a man about 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds. The second suspect was described as a woman about 5-foot-5 and 155 pounds.
Anyone who recognized either suspect was asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 916-443-4357 or sacvalleycrimestoppers.com. Tips can be made anonymously and could qualify for a reward for up to $1,000, enough for a decent Telecaster and a pedal or two.
