Fenway burglar is high strung

Boston Police are making a concerted effort to find a man who broke into Rutman's Violins on Mass. Ave. and stole a cello around 7:30 a.m.

The suspect, a white man in jeans, was last spotted going down Westland, holding the cello, before he went into haydn. He was balding, with light brown/reddish hair, possibly with a goatee.

Goatee? Maybe it was Peter Yarrow.

Holding the cello? It must not be wrapped in cellophane, which might make it hard to hold. Plus, i always hold the cello in favor of pudding or cheesecake.

Anyway, I bet Rutman's wants it Bach.

I hope they are insured in case the cello Baroque.

And since it was a cello, in the absence of any reports of injuries or property damage, it doesn't appear to be an act of violins.

And thankfully, neither was it a sax crime.

Rewrite: The suspect, a white man in jeans (not chords), was last spotted going down Westland (was that the first movement)?
