Violinist Loses His Baby - Worth Over $700,000 - In A NYC Cab!!!

Filed under: Music Minute > Etc.

Recently, 22-year-old musical prodigy Korean violinist Hahn-Bin, found himself without his most prized possession: his violin.

Hahn-Bin had left the almost 800,000 instrument in an NYC cab on his ride from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts to his Chinatown apartment in lower Manhattan.

Through the magic of modern technology, police were able to find the cab with GPS tracking and when he was reunited with his violin, Hahn-Bin cried out: "My baby!"

For something he loved so much, he sure was pretty careless to forget it!

He's just lucky the cab driver didn't know how much it was worth!

    11. 11

      He deserves to lose it — if it really were that important to him, he wouldn't have left it — maybe he just wanted to be a drama queen and get some press? Or maybe he hoped no one would find it and he could get the insurance money?
      .
      Drama queen media whore who, as Pear Ass Hilton put it, is just on this site because he's flaming.

    18. 18

      …I got into that cab just after he exited. I thought that it was a baby guitar and gave it to the little person from that reality show. Sorry.



    19. 19

      lucky.



    20. 20

      Isn't this the plot of "DC Cab"???? I pity the fool who leaves their million dollar violin in a cab?



    21. 21

      He's lucky he got it back. Next time he should get one of those kid leashes and put it on the violin case and wrap the other end around his wrist.

      Do you really mean the ignorant things you post, or are you going for some kind of sick shock-value?
      Whatever the twisted reason, SHAME ON YOU. Matthew Sheppard was brutally beaten and left to suffer and die - alone.
      To reference this senseless act of violence is beyond despicable - your cluelessness is pitiful.



    23. 23

      First, why some gays have to be so annoying, like yourself, and call stuff babies????
      Second, How dare you to insult the cab driver?

      PENDEJO



    24. 24

      YAWN! This sort of thing happens too often in NYC to be noteworthy…freakin' pun intended.



    25. 25

      omigod. So glad he found it. Violin is my favorite instrument.

      If I was carrying something worth 800,000 around with me, it would be handcuffed to my wrist.

      Re: Yellow Peeps – 23 Hey Peepers! I suspect all it would take is a note to tech support alerting them to a threat of violence and PunkyFuck will be given the boot. Shall you or shall I send it?



    33. 33

      Re: RED–SONJA – Next time I find a violin in a cab I am going to keep it. Why risk the physical violence of a mugging, right?



    34. 34

      Re: amyhearts

      there is a few violins, I can't think of the name right now sorry, but they were made by a very famous violinist and violin maker in like the 1600s, and there is only about 20 of them in the world and they are still used today, hence his is probably one. They're considered to be the richest and most beautiful in tone and the sound quality can't be reproduced.



    41. 41

      Fuck off Perez -this was news about 6 weeks if not longer ago in UK… do keep up by getting your head out of zlisted asses.



    42. 42

      Re: Laurent – Ha! He does!



    44. 44

      I think he's kinda cute! A dumb ass,but a cute one!



    45. 45

      There's a story every 6 months about some fool breaking or losing an expensive violin usually a Stradivari or an Gesu.
