subby, take a bow.

It would have been returned earlier but the hooker who found it already had appointments to straddle various.

Do people aspire to be a part of these "lost violin" stories? They happen enough that you gotta assume it is either a fetish or that violinists are so scatterbrained that they often leave the (expensive) central tool of their lives in a cab or on a bus.

I think the "lost violin" story is revived every year like so many other feel-good, bullsh*t news stories.

Wow, subby.

Excellent play on a meme.

Golf claps, etc.

I want to know how long she'd be grounded for losing a $172k instrument...

*reads headline*

*hisses*

I play the violin too. Mine is not that expensive but holy cow I treat it like its 'my precious' and would never ever forget it anywhere when I travel with it, it is virtually attached to me. What a twat that person must have felt.

What the fark is it with these "ultra-expensive violin left on bus/train/cab" stories? I've never left anything more expensive that a $5 umbrella behind. You left it in the overhead compartment? What the fark was it doing in the overhead compartment? I'd be clutching onto to that thing for dear life. I await the next "Stradivarius gone when violinist finally woken up by janitor at 2am in trainyard" article in a few months.

Last year it was a cello.

What was the rosin it was missing? Don't string us along.

Why the hell did she let that thing out of her sight? I would have carried it in my farking lap. Hell, I wouldn't let my $800 violin out of my farking sight, let alone something that costs as much as three of my parents' houses.
