Man, I wish fiddles were more distinctive (mine's known for being/sounding ugly, but at least it stands out). I'd be pissed if somebody took it even though it sounds like an asthmatic mule. I never leave instruments in the car if I can help it, at least not without covering them up well with something (partly for safety and partly because it's so damned hot here that it would do bad things to them). |

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 !! |

The buggers want hangin', or at the very least a boiling water & Epsom salts enema People who steal instruments KNOW how we musos feel about our instruments - They are part of us! Worrying thing is it might be musos that have done the deed! I hope them responsible all rot in hell |

Had my (admittedly old and shoddy) guit stolen by a pair of fraternity-brats in '98. :/ Fortunately the kids did such a sloppy job covering their tracks that it was recovered within 48 hours; either way, it was probably a lot more easily replaceable than your instrument. I hope your fiddle comes home soon. Slán, ~Fionn www.geocities.com/children_of_lir |
