This is an interview I held with Rachel Johnson, a freshman here at Ole Miss who had her violin stolen from a music instrument locker in Scruggs Hall.

·Do you think the UPD and Music Department at Ole Miss handled the issue well? If not, what do you think they could do, or could have gone, to address the issue more thoroughly?
The UPD has not made an effort to get back in touch with me after I filled the report with them. I really don’t feel like they’ve done anything to help with the recovery of my violin.
·What kind of violin, exactly, did you own?
A handmade German violin, we think by the Hopf family, as that name was branded on the back of the instrument.
·Are you going to purchase another violin soon?
If mine hasn’t shown up by Christmas break, I’m going to look for one back home.
· You said that your violin was family heirloom, is there any chance you could ever replace it?
I’ve been told before that a new violin couldn’t match my violin’s tone, hopefully one of a similar level will be affordable. As far as sentimentally, that violin is the only one I’ve ever played on, so nothing could replace it on that level.
·How much do you estimate the total value of the Violin to actually be?
I couldn’t really say.
