Ha - you can`t get rid of a banjo!

But it appears that the police is hoping for a second chance - why else would they report the value and an almost complete address where to find it....

Maybe the policewomen is living in the same neighborhood and the owner wasn`t a good player?????

Has anyone considered the possibility that the owner broke into the alleged thief's home and PUT the banjo there....?

I figure the thief was a non-player that stole the banjo so he could get some piece and quiet.

A youngster from the back hills of Tennessee was spotted by the teacher in the small community's one room schoolhouse as being extraordinarily brilliant and gave him a lot of extra attention. Eventually, when he graduated from high school, she saw to it that he was given a battery of tests, and as a result, he received a scholarship from a very up-scale Ivy League university.

In his first letter to his teacher, he expressed his gratitude for her care and attention and all she had done for him. And he told her how well he was doing. In describing the school, he said that he was living in the on-campus residence halls, and went on to say that "My room is small, but quite comfortable. The only problem is that the neighbors on either side of me are very noisy. One is always yelling and shouting and the other keeps pounding on the wall.

"Other than that, my only problem is that I am very homesick. But I try to alleviate that by playing my banjo a lot."

So the police admit they "cracked the case." I hope they compensated the banjo owner or at least bought him a new one.

Gurney-

You're so right!

Owning a banjo involves "headaches" enough without adding public ridicule.

Why would anyone steal a banjo?

Kidding, of course. It's late, and my sense of humor at this hour . . . .

Truth is, I like banjos.

Never mind, Tootler. Nobody's perfect.

One great advantage of the ukelele is that you CAN stick it up your jumper.

Tootler, did you consider a banjo-ukulele?

"Why would anyone steal a banjo?"

That's one way to get a "head" in life.

I really don't know why people "pick" on banjo players. It should, logically, be the other way around.
