Actually, this reminds me of that French knight in "Monty Python & The Holy
Grail": "I wave my prrrrivate paaaarrrrts at you! I faaaaaarrrrrt in
yourrrr generrrral dirrrrection!" Same level of maturity, only the comic
effect is lost when you're dealing a middle-aged schmuck who knowingly
deals in stolen property. Anyone who claims to be a collector but then
pays $450 for a superbly-conditioned Selmer low-C bass clarinet HAS to know
the thing was hotter than the griddle of a Viking stove. And as far as
this coming to eBay via a police sell-off, it makes me wonder eeeever so
slightly about the role of New York's "finest" in all this. Yeah, right,
Brutus is an honorable man, no cop ever made a dime on stolen property, and
I'm the rightful heir to the Romanov throne of Russia....

"...perhaps we really complete those we love, fulfill their finally
unchanging essence, when they're gone from us, when we take into ourselves
their portions of them still available to us, to acknowledge them more
perfectly, more purely, and do homage to the fugitive, protean forms of
love of, and love from."--C.K. Williams, "Misgivings"
