Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents are searching for a person who allegedly stole a rare 18th century violin from a Los Angeles area residence.
“The stolen violin is a 1710 Amati, a glossy, curvaceous object made from curly maple and alpine spruce that was crafted by one of the most important violin makers in musical instrument history, Hieronymus Amati II,” KTLA reported Thursday.
The instrument is in excellent condition and according to auction records, sold for over half a million dollars in 2013. Today, it is likely worth more than $700,000.
In a press release, the FBI asked the public for help with any information regarding the alleged theft that occurred on December 8.
