The date appears to be 3/01/2010

Although not recent, the situation still is unresolved. These tubas were all owned by Jim Akins. I believe the school insurance has yet to compensate him making it difficult to "move on". The tubas were likely sold for scrap and now no longer recognizable as tubas. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have one horn stolen let alone all of them. Good luck Jim.
