    Better find those violas before the thief puts them in his fireplace…

  • Alex says:

    To lose one instrument may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose five looks like carelessness.

    Clearly Australia is a musically deprived place, if a thief is under the impression that a viola – much less three – has any economic value.
