<< However, I wonder why the conversation is so hectic since it is actually
only the insurance company which is being ripped off. David got his bass
replaced (except for the time and the nerves which cannot be paid for).
Of course the involvement is understandable but the extent does surprise
me. Or have I missed a detail?? O.K. here's my two cents: I think it's
decisive (as Lelia also mentioned) to find out if the police auction
actually took place.. Good luck David! >>

The reason I am so concerned is that this is a superb instrument that
deserves to be owned, maintained and loved by a superb musician. One would
assume that a buyer of this type of instrument would be someone very serious
about music, such as a professional. I would not want one of my fellow
professionals to pay good money for an instrument with a clouded history.
That is a nightmare none of us would want to live through.

The other reason is that I want to send a message to bottom feeders like Jim
that getting involved with (stolen or likely stolen) musical instruments is a
bad idea and causes nothing but trouble. This guy thinks that waiting out
last week's outrage puts him in the clear, but he is wrong. His first auction
brought bids of up to $2,500 quickly. So far, no bids at all on this auction.
Let's keep sending this message.
