Thief Returns Stolen Mandolins After Going Viral
A man returned two stolen mandolins valued over $7,700 with an apology after social media pressure and surveillance footage, police and store officials said.
- Last Friday, Lark Street Music announced the two mandolins were recovered after the suspected thief returned them with an apology note left in two shopping bags.
- The Teaneck Police Department said the theft of two mandolins was reported on December 22, and Lark Street Music shared surveillance video on Facebook last week that gained widespread attention.
- Surveillance video shows the apparent theft at about 12:30 p.m. ET last Monday, capturing a man wearing a long winter coat placing a Gibson F-12 and a Weber Yellowstone into his coat pockets.
- The owner pursued the man and reported the chase to police, with Bernard "Buzzy" Levine calling 911; the suspected thief will likely face charges, though arrest status is unclear.
- The shop credited social media followers for reposts that pressured the suspect to return the mandolins, and the case drew coverage from The Independent and CBS News New York.
