You wouldn’t think it, but musical instruments are among one of people’s personal possessions that commonly get lost or stolen. For one thing, they are often targeted by thieves and burglars. While instruments may not cost as much as pieces of jewelry, classic paintings, and high-end gadgets, they still have certain monetary value that makes them appealing to thieves, especially those who are involved in illegal buy-and-sell negotiations and who know the worth of valuable instruments. Aside from being involved in cases of theft, instruments are also among the common items that end up in the lost-and-found section of many public and commercial establishments, such as restaurants, malls, stores, train stations, and even airports. There have been way too many cases of musicians losing their precious gear while they were traveling from one destination to another. Only a few of those instruments ever end up being recovered by their owners; a lot of them end up in the hands of unscrupulous entrepreneurs, who then sell them at a great profit.
