Rock's Rarest Artifacts

In 2005, a thief lifted Slash's top hat from the back of his limo during the Grammy Awards. One month later, a California man came forward asking for a reward after claiming he bought the iconic topper from a transient for $50,000. He contacted Slash and asked for $50,000 or he'd auction it on eBay. "This guy has popped up," Slash told a radio station. "It's the right hat. I don't know how he got it. It's just an article of clothing. It's personal. I've had it for a long time. I just want the hat back." An undisclosed amount was paid, reportedly under $50,000, by Slash's t-shirt company and the hat was returned.
