When you are declared bankrupt, a curator tries to sell everything that is left to gain enough money to pay the creditors.
So perhaps the curator didn't think this plastic 'thingy' was valuable, OR Jarre thought it had been sold, and never went back to the garagebox..
I've located the old adress of CICS, but I'm not sure if the garagebox is also there..
Two of the other employees were Patrice Etienne and Patricia Vandersteen (who assisted also Mike Mansfield with DD and PLDF).

The concert was only cancelled 16 days before, and all 50.000 tickets had been sold, so there was no lack of funding.
But you're right, there also was the safety issue: there was only 1 main road to the site.
There was also a new instrument created for Jarre, designed by LAG, called the "Otineau".
It was a crossover between l'Insecte and the Clavier Circulaire (Mad Max).
By the way, the company that took care of the lasers and projections was also forced intro bankruptcy, because they could not receive payment from CICS anymore..
The total dept for CICS was about 1.7 million Euro (70.000.000 Belgium Francs).
