It does say Trumpet not flugelhorn but most people don't know the difference. Everything else matches up, c on the bell, tulsa on the valves. Ebay told me they'd need the North Plainfield police to contact them. The seller was Jersey Discount collectibles

Get the police involved.



The pawn shop sold stolen property.



Ebay will give up the buyer's name and he'll have to return the horn to you. He can get his money from the pawn shop and the pawn shop will try to find the thief and turn him over to the cops.

Exactly!

Take the pics and police report and get them on it!

If that was my horn I'd be on the police dept to act upon it, which its part of their job.

It was sold on Ebay through a Pawn Shop in Middlesex N.J. And It was sold to someone in New York that I know! Trumpeter Omar Kabir. I suppose the shop gave the money back to Omar.

They known the guy who pawned it. He has a record but no valid address. His Driver license has a New York address but he doesn't live there anymore

Also got my Stolen Tascam digital porta studio back, it was still in the Pawn Shop.

Simply great.



When stolen horns have been described here in the past, some TH'ers have noted that the police have some means for tracking serial numbers.



If that's true, it could be a strong deterrent. Perhaps someone with knowledge can post more about it. Surely hope this IS true -- I think we all would be glad for such a thing.



Surely glad you got your horn back.
