So now some drug-addict is in possession of a centuries-old Stradivarius worth $millions, which at the same time, will be nearly impossible to sell because it is so famous.
I wonder what he/she will do with it?
Some rich Saudi with typical Muslim values will buy it on the black market.
Either the attackers wanted the instrument for themselves, or they conducted this heist at the behest of someone else — a contract robbery.
It’ll end up in an episode of “Pawn Stars”.
I’d say with 90% certainty that it was a contract job. Most likely for a foreign buyer who won’t fear showing it off.
Pretty much no chance that it was a random crackhead since the case was ditched.
The only other possibility is some fool that did an inside job simply to hold on to the piece
