Someone should have at least taken down the license number and called an LEO. To confront without adequate preparation and even if so, he could have had a piece and popped a cap.
It adds new meaning to what the good book states,
“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal" (Matthew 6:19, WEB)
I had a prized Yamaha YAS-61 professional model alto saxophone stolen 13 years ago. Thief broke into my pickup truck, took it, my GeneralMusic keyboard, digital camera, and a few other items. It happened in less than 10 minutes. (Stopped returning from rehearsal so a friend could ask the restaurant about a set of lost keys. I didn't know the value of this 1971 horn I kept in extremely good condition was $3K. My father bought it for me as a high school present.
)
Since then, I've replaced it with a used Antigua Winds alto for $330 that looks and plays just as well as it. (There's a lot of unnecessary hype about professional instrument sound quality.)
Sorry to hear about the theft but unfortunately, it's a part of life.
