(CNN) -- Tips led police to a Milwaukee home where
they recovered a nearly 300-year-old violin worth millions that was
stolen from an orchestra concertmaster, authorities said Thursday.
The Stradivarius violin,
known as the "ex-Lipinski," was found in a suitcase in the attic of the
home, police told reporters at a news conference.
The violin appears to
have been recovered in good condition, but officials are waiting for an
expert to examine the instrument, Mark Niehaus of the Milwaukee Symphony
Orchestra said. More
