The five instruments were taken from a parked car last month
Three violas, a violin and a cello, collectively worth AUS$160,000 (£75,000), have been stolen from a parked car in Melbourne, Australia.
The instruments, which had recently been restored for the Allegri Music School and Store in Niddrie, were left overnight in a white Ford Falcon in a Kew car park on 10 October 2015 by one of the school’s assistants. The thief smashed the driver’s side window to gain access, according to The Age Victoria.
