$100 reward for a Stradivarius...

[Dennis S]

I know a classical violinist who was on his way to a giig and realized he had forgotten his car keys. He put the violin on the hood of his car and went to get the keys. He came back, started the car and ran over the violin in the case. It was worth about $200,000.

A fiddle-maker nearby restored it, but ti never sounded the same.
