A fiddle, a five-string electric violin, and four bows were stolen from a van at the Toddington Northbound Services, in the UK, on April 1 at approximately 4 PM local time.

The instrument was inside a black and silver GEWA Pure case with many stickers. The case also carried four stolen bows, two by Dörfler and two by Glasser bows. One of the bows is made of pink fibreglass.

The thief also took a GEWA five-string electric fiddle, which was housed in a black Cremona zip-up case.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist the owner with the cost of replacing the stolen instruments, and you can donate here.

The incident has been reported to the police, and anyone with any information about the theft should contact them directly.
