“...It will never be valuable for a thief. It’s only value is for a collector,” Flynn said.

Hmmm.

Their names have not been released yet. Therefore, no pictures have been released.

Before it gets recovered hope it gets one romp stompin’ session in a Texas dancehall. A fiddle like that deserves some class sometimes.

yup, I don’t think you steal a $6M violin on spec. You steal it because someone has offered to pay you a big chunk of change to steal it for them. Hopefully at least one more arrest to come.

The case was found on the Milwaukee’s north side.
This is solid Amish country.
These are good boys just turning their life around.
They are taking music lessons and need a violin.
I’m sure you understand that!

Oh, I’m familiar with the north side. I’m from Wisconsin.
I’m sure they were “good boys turning their life around”

I guess all 3 names have been released: Universal Allah, Salah Jones and Latoya Atlas were arrested by Milwaukee Police Monday.

Bingo! I was thinking the same thing. Special crime requires special time.
