This kind of story always twists my guts:

Last summer, I stayed at my uncle's up in Toronto, Canada
I played his '52 gibson acoustic, which is, without comparison, the best guitar I've ever played.
He has arthritis in his hands, and hasn't been able to play the guitar for 20 years. He had the guitar willed to me.
Then, last october, someone broke into his house, and stole the guitar.
Anyone who knows anything about a reddish-purple, '52 gibson acoustic which has shady origins in the Toronto area, please post something!
I know this is a far cry, but I'm desperate!
