Stradivarius violin

I'm sure you heard about the 1715 Lipinski Stradivarius violin stolen on January 27th in Milwaukee.  It's been found in the Bay View neighborhood. It appears to be in perfect condition — and is expected to be returned to its owner soon.

Why am I mentioning it?  They found it one block from my house.  Police and everyone else crowded the street.  Wow.  We are really a quiet neighborhood but what a way to make ourselves know to the world.
The violin has been returned intact to the owner.

And the violinist is scheduled to play it next week at the senior center close to me, I think for once my age is a bonus-senior center here I come.

At least the criminals in your area are high end :) Great that they recovered it!

The guys was caught before for stealing a 25,000 painting. If you're going to do it do it right.

That's not too far from where I live in St Francis. Glad they found it

Thanks for sharing the news. And about the painting, too.

So glad it was recovered; and I hope that all of you have a great evening hearing it played.

Your criminal appreciates the finer things in life!
That's great the violinist has recovered enough from the shock of the robbery to play, and even greater that you get to hear him!

I think they would agree with that.

I did see that report last night! How crazy is that! It's great news to have it returned to its owner. I hope the thieves get what they deserve!

They were charged yet, but it should be interesting.
