I am so sorry to hear about this. I had a similar problem with Greyhound a few years back when I shipped a nearly new notebook computer with them from Abilene, Texas to the Austin area. It was stolen in route from one of their storage areas in Austin and turned up 6 months later in a pawn shop in Austin for a couple of hundred dollars. A police officer noticed the low price and the fact that the thief had not bothered to erase my name and other data. Duh.

My point is that there is still hope of getting it back. I bet that if you alert enough law enforcement agencies that it will eventually turn up. It's much harder to hide or fence a tuba than a computer, I guess. At any rate I sure hope so. And your alert will probably help a lot of folks avoid similar troubles with Greyhound, so thanks for sharing your story.

Hang in there.

Max
