Nancy R:
Interesting link, thanks! Here's another one: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/german-police-recover-100-stolen-john-lennon-items-36340166.html "During their investigation, police officers and prosecutors also flew to New York, where they met Ono to have her verify the stolen goods' authenticity". "She was very emotional and we noticed clearly how much these things mean to her and how happy she would be to have them back," prosecutor Susann Wettley said of the moment they showed Ono some of the recovered items and pictures of some others. "The trove of Lennon memorabilia also includes a recording of a Beatles concert from 1965, a school exercise book from 1952, contract documents for the copyright of Lennon's I'm The Greatest song and handwritten scores for Woman and Just Like Starting Over". "There are also three of Lennon's leather-bound diaries, from 1975, 1979 and 1980. The last entry was made by Lennon on the morning of December 8 1980, a few hours before he was killed, Ms Wettley said. It included a note on the famous photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz that same day showing a naked Lennon embracing his wife".

What an incredible find and recovery! Great job by the German authorities! And by the auction house to realize the goods had to be stolen. So happy for Yoko!
Hope they nab the thief in Turkey.
