The thief who stole a double violin case in London's Carnaby
Street last week might have had a shock when they examined their
haul. Inside were two violins but both were being restored: one was
in three pieces (with noticeable woodworm damage to the back), and
the other was just a back plate, bearing the stamp 'BRETON
L'HUTHIER A PARIS'.
The instruments were stolen from Nao Kurata, who was going to a job
interview for a restoration position at a London violin workshop.
Anyone with any information as to the violins' whereabouts is asked
to contact the police on 0300 123 1212.
