In 45 years of owning various instruments , I've only ever had two stolen - My first clarinet , which I had taken out of its case and put in the inside pocket of my overcoat with the view of heading to the Jazz Club when The NAAFI closed - some bastard stole my Overcoat on a cold snowy evening in Germany ! Then I had my ONLY C whistle lifted from the table in front of me when I was doing a six month gig three thousand miles from a decent music shop !!
I my book , stealing instruments is worth than molestation !!!
Bring Back The Birch !!
