Playing the Violin

5 Sep 2010 - A Taiwanese violinist borrows an antique violin from a Museum for a performance in Hong Kong. The concert is a great success and after the performance he takes the ferry to relax a bit and enjoy the view on Victoria Harbor. Unfortunately he falls asleep. An observant thief sees the opportunity and steals the violin, but he does not know that it is valued at more than HKD 2,5 mio. He takes the instrument home and puts it on top of the cupboard. The ever observant Hong Kong police catches the thief through their CCTV system and brings the violin back to the distressed violinist. It seems a happy ending, but the museum decides to lend the artist any musical instrument again. The violinist promises himself never to fall asleep on a ferry ever again.
