If there is one person that I hate it is a low down Son-Of -A-Bitch that steals a musical instrument.While in the service from 1942 until 1946 I had 4 guitars stolen from me a cheap MW a cheap Gene Autry a blond Kay and a Martin double 00 I hated the bastards then and the feeling still exists.I hope somehow you get your fiddle back,but the chanches are slim and I also know how attached you were to this fiddle regardless what the value was,Louie Roy
