Stolen: trumpets, one Dizzy custom, in a guitar case stolen. $500 reward

Please help find brilliant musician Jim Jordans trumpets. 2 trumpets, one a Dizzy custom, were in a hard guitar case. JIm passed away on New Years day and his home was broken into. These horns are a very important to me. They represent a lifetime of my father's hard work. He played music until he literally could not blow another note.

My father, a musician for 65 years, died on New Years Day. His horns, both in an electric guitar case, were then stolen from his home. I am his son, Mark Jordan. I am very sad to lose my father. I also play horn. It would mean a lot to me to find the instruments taken.

$500 reward.

Stolen Alert - Oakland, CA

Custom Cello

To all my musician friends in the Bay Area (especially cellists): my friend (and also cello teacher's) two cellos were stolen recently from his apartment in Oakland. As a professional musician, he depends on these instruments for his livelihood, and so this is a devastating financial and emotional loss for him, especially right before the holidays.

The more valuable cello is also uniquely and distinctively shaped (see attached image) and has very high sentimental value, as the owner knew the maker of the cello back in his native country. Because of its unique shape it would easily stand out amongst other cellos. If you see this instrument in a pawnshop, being offered for sale i.e. on Craigslist, or being played by someone, please e-mail findmycello@gmail.com. Please don't engage with the person who may be in possession of the instrument, we will rely on the police for that.

Please forward this to any cellist or other musicians you know!

Stolen Alert - Chicago, IL

Collings MT A-style/f-hole mandolin (satin finish) stolen from O’Hare airport in Chicago on 11/28/13. There is a small ding in the very back of the neck, I believe opposite the 7th fret-or-so. There is also a shiny spot below the f-hole on the treble side from my pink rubbing as I played my mandolin that i miss so much!!! Finally, on last piece of identifying characteristics of this particular mandolin, the end-pin kept pulling out so I put a small piece of painter’s tape on the end-pin to make it fit more snugly/securely. I colored the tape black so it wouldn't be too noticeable. Any help finding this mandolin will be very, very, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Reward $200

Stolen Alert - Eastman School of Music, Rochester, NY

Hey Facebook. My oboe was stolen on Saturday the 23rd outside of Kilbourn hall's green room in Rochester while I was playing a recital. Although it was stolen alongside a plethora of other items (my phone, student ID, keys, jacket, Dr. Beat, reed making materials), my instrument is what I'm most concerned about finding. It's my baby. I have given a description and serial number to the local police, but I would really appreciate any help anyone has to offer. 

It is a Loree Royale, serial number: SG68. It was purchased in summer of 2011. It was in the case pictured (hard black case covered in a soft Loree zipper cover). There is a small humidifier in place of the black reed case in the photo. The thumb rest should be up all the way since I have very small hands. The Altieri bag I kept it in was found in a trash bin a few blocks away from school, no oboe inside. 

If you have any suggestions or feel like sharing this post, it would be much appreciated. 

I'm very thankful for the immense help and support of my professor who has given me what I need to continue my day to day life as a music major, but I need to find my oboe.

Reward: $500

1979 Gretsch Committee serial number 7628

Very recently had my 1979 Gretsch Committee stolen. The serial number, which is located in the electronics cavity, is 7628. It was stolen with the case, which has a black exterior and the faded Gretsch logo as well as a plush lime green interior. The guitar is wood finished brown with two blonde vertical "racing stripes". The guitar is shaped similarly to a Gibson SG and has a black transparent batwing shaped pickguard. The guitar is very important to me and i'd love to see it again someday. Any help would be appreciated.

-I'm offering a $200 reward for the guitar.
