Is there an online database of stolen musical instruments?
Graham Dixon has set up a database for posting descriptions of stolen or lost instruments, or recording details of dodgy-looking offers, at http://www.stolengear.ukart.com. To quote Graham’s announcement, ‘there is no reason why we should keep this within the ‘folk’ circle – please circulate to musicians in other genres’. Dave Henson is coordinating the work on developing this idea further, via his web pages at http://www.novamedia.co.uk/solmi.cfm.
