Folks, I just spoke with Lisa and this is a fact. The instruments were taken from their home by someone over a period of time. This is someone that they were allowing to stay in their home as an act of kindness. They have recovered a number of instruments, and I have listed them here. I cannot give you much more detail yet, but I do know what happened. In order not to jeopardize the case that is ongoing, I cannot put it here. But when the time is right, I will let you know exactly what happened and the perp's, and businesses, that were involved in fencing the stuff.
