Readers in Dallas will be glad to know that a Stradivarius violin is being returned to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra after 21 years. After the three hundred year-old instrument went missing in 1985, the DSO presumed it had been stolen. It resurfaced recently and will soon be played once again at the Morton H. Meyerson. The BBC has more.

UPDATE: Heh. The headline from fark.com: Stradivarius violin, one of only 600 known to exist, returning to Dallas Symphony Orchestra 21 years after it was stolen. Sadly, it will be called a "fiddle" and used to play songs about beers, steers and queers.
