Stradivarius
Stradivarius instruments are at risk of theft. Stolen instruments are often recovered, however, even after being missing for many years. They are difficult to sell illicitly as dealers will typically call the police if approached by a seller with a Stradivarius known to have been stolen.[23] In recent years, the General Kyd Stradivarius was stolen in 2004. It was returned three weeks later by a woman who found it and handed it over to the police.[24][25][26]  The Sinsheimer/Iselin was stolen in Hanover, Germany in 2008 and recovered in 2009.[27] the Lipinski Stradivarius  was stolen in an armed robbery on 27 January 2014[28] and subsequently recovered.[29] The Ames Stradivarius was stolen in 1981 and recovered in 2015.[23]
