On Saturday 18th March, while transfering from Paris Airport of Orly to the station of Antony,
on the Orlyval train, I was stolen of a double violin case made
by Riboni, light grey color, containing 2 violins and 5 bows.
We would be very grateful if you could forward this email with the photografs attachments to
anyone whom you think could help me in my search to find these instruments .
In attachment to the present message you can find some pictures of the violins.
