I heard this on the radio news on the way to work. May the thieves and their descendents for 7 generation suffer the afflictions of plague and pestilence.

A lovely performance of Tartini's Devil's Trill on the now foregone fiddle by the now forlorn fiddler. :devil:

At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, police announced that the instrument was not (yet) recovered. But the case was found discarded by the roadside along the escape route. :boggle:

I'm working on their pestilences.

They threw the special case to the side of the road. Infidels.
