I spent 7 years driving a vehicle with a relatively flat roof, so I did this without thinking. Modern cars are all round on top and look more or less like UFOs designed by fish, so my box just slides right off, tumbles off the back end, and SMACKs into the pavement before I can do anything.
Thankfully it survived the trip, but I felt phenomenally stupid.
BTW, if you ensure a near-million-dollar violin and the insurance policy doesn't cover theft from a vehicle, wouldn't you tell that to someone borrowing the instrument?

I hate new cars for that kind of thing... you also can't see where the front and back actually
terminate at all, so you can only park correctly your own daily-driven car, there's nowhere
comfortable to sit on the hood or the trunk, try it and you'll slide right off, or at least have
the uncomfortable feeling that you're about to do so. I think it all started to go downhill
with the 1987 model year and introduction of the Taurus.
Ehh... oh, yes, glad the girl got her violin back. And no, she probably can't fiddle worth
anything, most violinists can't fiddle, and most fiddlers can't play Tschaikovsky, so, y'know.
Though you never know. There are those who can do both.

Perhaps you could offer your services as escorts----I think she could use some guidance.
