I apologize ahead of time for writing this but I've got to get this out. I can't believe it but some lowlife pathetic excuse for a human being "person" stole my beautiful French Horn. My mom worked so hard to pay for it when I was fifteen years old and started getting serious in my playing. I'm so mad I just start crying every time I think about it being gone. I am a grad student and I have finals today and tomorrow and I can hardly concentrate. I found out from my neighbor yesterday that it was probably stolen a couple of months ago . I live in an apartment and we have "secure" storage units in our basement. I rarely do laundry here but yesterday I did (finals week). I was carrying my clothes back upstairs when I saw the wheel bags for my racing wheels in an empty storage bin with no lock on it??? I have the racing wheels on my bike in my apartment but I put the crappy set that came on my bike in the bags though so at least I didn't lose my good wheels. I don't know why thieves would fish them out of my bin just to leave them sitting there, I can't image the common thief would know a good wheel from a cheap one. My lock on my unit wasn't cut but it was mutilated. There were screws on the floor so I think they took some of the boards loose and got in that way, I can't figure any other way they could have got in. I called the police and reported it to my renters insurance but I don't have any receipts or anything it's been fifteen years and I've moved many times I am so upset, my horn was a huge sentimental loss for me and it did happen to be worth about $3000. I'm so livid because I found out from the neighbors that the apartment complex knew about it but never bothered to tell anyone. When I called them yesterday right after I discovered my horn was missing and I asked them directly about break ins, they acted like they didn't know anything. Had I known I might have had a chance of finding it in a pawn shop or something as it is now at least 2 months or more later now so there is no way!?!?!?!
