“As soon as I boarded the train, I placed my violin case on the overhead rack and placed my laptop bag near my feet. I was completely exhausted due to the hot sun and soon fell asleep. When the train pulled into the Mylapore station, I got off in a hurry, forgetting to take my case from the rack.”

I read it here.

Okay. I think I’ve figured it out. Someone needs to invent “case handcuffs” so that musicians can handcuff their instruments to themselves.

I do hope the man gets his instruments back. (TWO violins and THREE bows. Sigh.)
