Flatiron Stolen and Returned ????

[kirksdad]

Saw this come up for bid, and the owner remarked today that someone reported the mandolin stolen and he would be returning it. Interesting indeed, but I hope if it was stolen, it was returned to the rightful owner.

Reported here earlier today (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33950&highlight=stolen). The original theft was reported here in 2007.

Mike;

Good news indeed. Glad it was a MC'er that caught it. I hope the owner gets it back...........

I'm working on that but sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall.
