 LONDON (AP) - A retired shipping consultant said he lost a 17th-century violin worth nearly $400,000 after leaving it on a train.
Rob Napier said Monday he did not realize the instrument — made by master Venetian craftsman Matteo Goffriller in 1698 — was still on the train's luggage rack until it began pulling out of the station.
"I think you can imagine the awful, kind of pit-in-your-stomach feeling," Napier told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "My first instinct was: Can I jump on top of the train? But that was obviously stupid."
