Stolen Harp

From nz-folk, Celia Briar:

On January 14th my Kim Webby Minstrel harp was taken from my van, in the Westpac Stadium car park in Wellington. It's astounding that someone would nick something so big and
conspicuous, but they did. So I never made it to the session... In case you see a harp for sale that could be my one, here are the details:
It's a Kim Webby Minstrel harp, number 57, with 34 strings, some of them gut, some Nylgut. It'll be very out of tune, as some of the strings are new and I still have the tuning key!
The harp is made of New Zealand red beech, slightly battered from 19 years of use my me but otherwise in good order. It was in a new black carrying case with a set of strings in the pocket. I would be very glad to see it again, especially if it's not been trashed.
My contact details are cbriar-at-gmail.com
Thanks
Celia
