At least they got a picture of the guy who stole it.

Be on a lookout… If weren’t for those red lines one could blend in with the crowd:) That’s a huge tuba.

From the beginning that first picture looked familiar to me until I realized it was taken at Lee Stofer’s place. I asked the owner about it and he wrote that original picture is from the seller and it was taken at Lee Stofer. So it must be really nice Conn.

When you think that some idiot might have stolen it to sell it as metal, that makes you pull your hair out.
