An 1855 George Gemunder violin, left by its rushed owner at a train station on Saturday, has been recovered by police together with its $6,000 bow after a stranger walked away with it.

The instrument belongs to Amy Sims, a freelance violinist. ‘I use that violin every day, and I don’t have a backup instrument,’ she said.

Here’s the picture of a suspect who was originally sought by police but has now been cleared.

    NL: “Here’s the picture of a suspect who is being sought by police.”

    No, apparently not:
    “The woman picked up the violin after it had been left behind. Police say that woman is “no longer a person of interest” and assisted in the investigation.”
