<Jay, if something you care about ever gets ripped off, you'll understand
what's going on here. I can't speak for David Hattner, but *my* major
concern is that a thief is getting away with a crime, right here in the
middle of the clarinet-playing community

If I have had something stolen and found out later that someone has the
item, then the first thing I would do is go to the proper authorities. If
the insurance company had paid up, then I would notify them first. If, as
is reported here, the Police had actually recovered the instrument and let
it pass through their hands I would have that investigated. If the serial
number was included in the Police report, it would be an easy matter to
find out if the Clarinet had in fact been recovered. Perhaps the Insurance
company would have been notified and decided not to recover it.

I would make sue I would cover every legal base first before I tried to
fire up a group of people on a list to start a writing campaign. So far, I
have not seen what the response is from the Police, or the Insurance
company is. It may be that I just didn't catch it.

As far as the seller on ebay goes, if he did buy the instrument
legitimately from the Police department, than he has every right to do with
it as he pleases, even if that may upset us. The problem here is not the
seller on ebay, if what he says is true. It is over worked or incompetent
Police and Insurance employees.

If I went to a Police auction, I would assume that most of the products for
sale would have been stolen or confiscated because of some illegal
activity.
