Vaila Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 My fiddle was stolen from a car parked in Market Street on Friday night, between 8.30 and 9.00.It was in a hard, black oblong 'hiscox' case. The fiddle is a reddish brown colour. E. Thomson is printed on the bridge. Also in the case were two bows. One is dark brown with a circle in the 'frog' at the end and pearl in the end of the screw.The other is lighter brown with no circle on the frog and a silver screw. A reward is offered for the return of this instrument. If anyone has any information on this they can contact the Lerwick Police Station or myself by email (vailatait@hotmail.com). Thank you, Vaila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
