HOW TO GET A LOST INSTRUMENT POSTED ON THIS LIST

1. Send an E-mail to maley@cornetconnection.com.
2. Use the subject line 'LOST INSTRUMENT' or 'STOLEN INSTRUMENT' in your email.
3. Include a description of the missing instrument. You may want to include such things as the make, model, serial number, finish, date lost/stolen, where lost/stolen, and other things that were with it that may help identification.
4. Include your contact name, E-mail address and/or phone number. Please don't send a physical address as a form of contact if you can avoid it.
5. Attach a photo if you would like one posted.
6. Once the information is posted, check it for accuracy. Report any errors to Joyce Maley.
7. This page is provided as a free service. Use of this site is 'at your own risk'. Users agree to hold neither Joyce Maley, nor Hurricane Chinooks, liable for the accuracy of the information or the non-recovery of your instrument.
8. If your instrument is recovered, or you no longer want it listed here, please contact Joyce Maley to have your listing removed.

WHAT TO DO TO PROTECT YOUR INSTRUMENT FROM THEFT

1. Keep track of your equipment.
2. Take only what you need to a job.
3. Don't leave equipment unattended.
4. Keep small items, that are easily picked up by passing people, toward the middle of the section.
5. Keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings. If you don't trust the people walking by, then don't take your hands off your equipment.
6. Insure your more expensive equipment. Most insurance complanies can add an instrument floater policy to your homeowner's policy. Be aware that professionally used equipment may not be insurable, or may be insurable at a higher rate, due to the higher risk. Keep the original receipt, to include the serial number. Keep a picture of it too, just in case you have to file a claim.
7. Install a monitored burglar alarm for your home. It will not only protect your possessions when you are away, it will protect your whole family from fire and burglars.
8. You may also want to check out the history of your instrument. Try to get hold of the original sales receipts, and always use receipts yourself!
9. Offer a reward. Sometimes even a small one will help. Often a stolen instrument ends up in the hands of an unsuspecting buyer, whom is then faced with the difficult moral dillema of playing a stolen instrument, or giving up their 'investment'. Help them out, they'll cooperate!
10. Make a commitment to never acquire stolen, or suspected stolen, gear. Buying stolen equipment will encourage more theft, and your instrument may be next.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR INSTRUMENT IS STOLEN

1. Immediately call the police and report it. Make sure you have all the information you need to identify it accurately.
2. Immediately report the loss to your insurace company, even if you think it will be recovered.
3. List your stolen instrument on this page.
4. Contact local pawn shops with the item description.
5. Contact local band directors with the item description.
6. Contact local music stores with the item description.
7. Monitor online sources, such as eBay, Trumpet Herald, Hornplayer.net, and other links for online for sale ads.
8. Report the loss to the appropriate online instrument discussion lists.
9. For higher ticket, and custom made instruments (Alexander, Lawson, Paxman, Pizka, Rauch, Lewis, Durk, Rico Kuhn, Blackburn, Lawler, Monette, Scodwell, Taylor, Wedgewood, etc), you may want to contact the manufacture or the major dealer in your country. If future owners want service on these instruments, they may send them back to the custom shop for work, not knowing they are stolen.
10. If you are going to buy an instrument, check this page first. If you find an instrument you want to buy is on this list, contact the individual listed and the police. If you find one stolen instrument, it is possible that yours is not far away.
