Sadly, Jackie Oates had her 5 string Tim Phillips Viola stolen from her car last night. I'll get the serial number asap. A picture of it can be viewed on her website.Anahata |

10 Nov 06 - 03:46 AM (#1880989) Subject: RE: Stolen viola From: GUEST,Ralphie John J Somewhere in the South West of the UK, I understand. There are no words to describe the actions of a person who would do such a thing. May Jackie be lucky enough to recover her Viola. I wish her well. Kind Regards Ralphie |

10 Nov 06 - 04:18 PM (#1882498) Subject: RE: Stolen viola (South West of the UK) From: GUEST,cardboard cutout Jackie won't have picked this thread up, so I will. Stolen from the locked boot of her car in central Exeter, outside her flat, overnight Wednesday 8th to Thursday 9th November. (Usually she takes it indoors so extremely unlucky car got struck on this night.) Opportunist theft, I'm guessing, by thieves seeing what they could find. All of family very upset by the "bereavement" however, apart from death of a loved one about the worst thing that could happen to Jackie, as it is like her third arm! Thanks for all your concern and efforts, Jane Oates |

13 Nov 06 - 12:54 PM (#1884803) Subject: RE: Stolen viola (South West of the UK) From: The Borchester Echo I hope that everyone reading this thread has taken the pic of Jackie's viola + serial number to their local music shop/market stall/second hand shop and asked them to watch out for it. If you haven't yet, do it now. Such action can pay off - remember Alan Day's concertina stolen in Sidmouth turning up in the Music Room in Birningham a few days later. |

A friend had his flute stolen in Cardiff, and he trawled all the local junk shops, pawn brokers etc and eventually found his flute in a pawn broker... Fingers crossed it'll return. EWIS |
