Today is the hardest day of my life. I’ve never felt so torn apart ever before... At 19:40, right after my gig, I parked my car at my girlfriend’s house, went upstairs with her to drop her flowers off and proceeded downstairs back to the car to continue our evening together... What happened next was my biggest fear in the entire world.

As I approached my car I noticed my window was smashed, and at that point the coldest bone-crushing chill shot down my spine...

They stole my saxophone, they stole my entire being...

I cried last night like I cried when I was a laaitie, I searched the streets up and down trying to find my lost lover who abandoned me on Valentine’s... She helped me through the toughest times of my life, she toured the world with me and she kept me from physically harming myself.

That saxophone was all I am and all I would have been. I’m lost without her... I see no purpose in my life anymore, there will never be anything that could replace her.

Today I’ve felt what it would feel like to lose a child, a best friend and a lover.

She’s a silver Selmer Super Action 80ii (serial no: N329039) alto saxophone, I’m willing to give whoever all my savings of R25 000 as a reward. I will play gigs for you for free for the rest of my life!

For what it’s worth, please share my story, keep an eye out; without that saxophone I can’t continue... I love her so much.
