A

A classical guitarist was excited to hear from New York City police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a taxicab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he rushed out of the cab. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.

As soon as he discovered his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.

She told Lennon that he could submit a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years — finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers. Then she told him to have a nice day.

“This year has been dissatisfactory,” said Lennon. “I had to put off the recording of two new CDs. I’ve been using borrowed guitars.”

Lennon was reunited with his $100,000 guitar yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffeehouse only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $10, 000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffeehouse owner, who had informed the police. The police department prepared a news report about its success in tracking down the guitar.
