Recovered......my banjo has been recovered. I called a music store in the area of the theft and left my info. The store owner called today and told me he bought it from a person and is holding it for me. It’s in the hands of the cops now to follow up on the identified suspect and make the wheels of justice roll over him.....

Do keep us informed as to how the proceedings progress.
If someone stole my banjo I think my heart stop.
