VIOLINIST REUNITED WITH LOST $4 MILLION VIOLIN

A Grammy-nominated musician is clinging on to a borrowed $4 million (GBP2 million) Stradivarius violin after accidentally leaving it in a New York taxi on Monday (21Apr08).
Phillippe Quint was reunited with the rare instrument after a stressful day spent trying to track it down.
It was found by driver Mohamed Khalil, who refused to accept a reward from the Russian-born star.
Quint tells the New York Post, "I was thinking which way I was going to commit suicide if I didn't find it."
