A number of musical instruments worth tens of thousands of dollars have been stolen from students at McGill's Schulich School of Music, CTV News has learned.
According to the Music Undergraduate Students' Association (MUSA), at least seven instruments have been stolen in the past month - including two saxophones, a trombone, an oboe and an English horn.

Unfortunately John Miller decided that after we recovered his stolen bass that he was not going to pay the $1000 reward - even though the bass is valued at $250,000. He offered $200 to settle the matter - then took that back saying the police advised him to not pay a reward.
His father is a very wealthy Montreal lawyer. If they have the money to buy $250,000 cellos and send their son to school - they should have honored the reward.
John Miller and his family are the real criminals.
