£180,000 violin left on train
A man who had taken his 17th Century violin to be valued left it on at train - just hours after being told it was worth £180,000.Robert Napier had travelled from Wiltshire to London to get the 1698 Venice-made Goffriller valued on 29th January.
But after placing it on the luggage rack above his seat he forgot all about it and when he left the train he picked up his briefcase and coat leaving the valuable instrument behind.
Realizing his mistake he contacted the train company who searched the train but did not find the item.
The missing Goffriller, together with a bow stamped R Sartory, were in a rectangular case with a brown cover.
Insurance company Allianz has offered a reward of up to £10,000 for the return of the instrument.
