Lost the beloved flute

　　According to reports, at midnight in 2012, Heidi, who was 27 at the time, forgot her most precious flute in a taxi.

Allegedly, Heidi’s flute is a silver flute, valued at $10,000.

　　After discovering that the flute was missing, even though Heidi contacted the taxi company, the employees said that they could not find the driver and had not heard of missing musical instruments.

Later, Heidi even reported to the police and the news media, but in the end he couldn't find it.

　　Heidi was originally going to participate in the rehearsal of the New England Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time on the second day. This opportunity was only obtained by applying for flutist of the orchestra for several years.

　　In desperation, Heidi could only borrow a flute from a friend to rehearse in the orchestra, but the borrowed flute was obviously not as good as her own.

The orchestra felt dissatisfied after listening to Heidi's performance, and she was also deeply sorry. After barely finishing the rehearsal, the orchestra did not find her again, and Heidi's career as a musician was greatly affected.

9 years later, lost and recovered

　　Time flies, 9 years have passed.

　　In March 2021, Heidi, who was 36 years old, suddenly received a call. The other party said that a musical instrument store in Boston contacted them. A man recently took a flute to determine the price, and the serial number and Heidi of the flute were lost. The flute is exactly the same.

Heidi later stated that she "almost fainted" when she heard the news.

　　Wahlberg, who is in charge of price appraisal at this musical instrument store, said that people who ask for a flute appraisal will not play the flute at first sight, and that flute is of a professional level and is usually not used by amateurs.

　　Wahlberg took photos of the musical instruments, wrote down the serial number, and left the customer's name and contact information in accordance with the store regulations, and then provided relevant information to the flute manufacturer.

　　Afterwards, the flute manufacturer traced the original sales sheet of the instrument, and finally found Heidi and told her that the flute, which had been lost for 9 years, was there.

On April 19, Heidi finally reunited with Flute.

It was him who hid the flute!

　　The Boston police later visited the "guest". The "guest" inferred that it was a flute bought from an unknown person and handed the flute to the police.

　　However, unexpectedly, the police later confirmed that the "guest" was the taxi driver who carried Heidi at the time and he was facing charges of receiving stolen goods.

　　At present, Heidi has worked as a music director and musician in a music club. She said, “I am not the kind of person who wants revenge, but he did mess me up and greatly affected my life.”
