Haverford Police have found a trombone that was stolen from a young boy from Upper Darby with special needs, according to NBC10.
The instrument, which belongs to Aidan Milligan, 9, of Drexel Hill, went missing last Thursday. Milligan is a child with down syndrome and his parents say the trombone is his most treasured possession. They also say he was looking forward to his weekly music lesson.
Aidan’s mother Helen says her son put the trombone outside on the curb near their car on Warrior Road on Thursday and it was gone only a few minutes later.
“We hope this is just a mistake, that they thought it was trash day and he had it out on the curb and that they see this and hopefully return it,” said Helen.
The trombone is worth somewhere between $800 and $1,000.
On Sunday, Haverford Police announced they found the trombone and have notified Aidan’s family. They have not yet revealed if anyone was arrested or where the instrument was found.
