Stolen Cello: Enrico Marchetti 1890 with 2 bows, one by Sartory and one by Espey
Description:
A cello was stolen on May 5th from the owners house. The cello was made by Enrico Marchetti, in 1890, and two bows were stolen, by Sartory and Espey (modern American). The total value of the stolen goods is $250,000.
The cello was stolen in Seattle, USA, from the owners home but they have strong reasons to believe that the thief will try to sell the cello in Europe. It's a targeted theft (the thieves took nothing else) and potential suspects have traveled to, or will be traveling to Europe soon.
