Big accordion theft including many Cooperativas, UK

I cant get to a computer at the moment but heres a link to the story: http://forum.melodeon.net/index.php/topic,19184.msg225260/boardseen.html#new

Lots of instruments including high value ones stolen from a dealer.

Facebook link to the same shop:

Looks to be a job done by people in the know, as they were selective of what accordions they took.

There is a PDF of stolen instruments from another accordion dealer, Swedish I believel:

I hope these places have some kind of insurance, thefts at these levels could cause heavy financial burdens, possibly enough to cause a shop to close. Very sad.

The Facebook link is better, thanks Jerry, as it has pictures. Yep someone who robs on this scale is real scum. The boxes may well be out of the country by now but that Cooperativa Elite Sunburst might stand out somewhere.
