Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the positive responses. I've been walking around all day with a huge smile on my face. I'm so thrilled to have Purple Rain back.

Hmm, maybe he gave it up so easily because he did in fact steal it? But I feel like a thief would have been willing to fight. Maybe he just knew that I was going to possibly kill him unless he got his arse off of it immediately. I had been listening to "I Would Die 4 U" since it got stolen so maybe he knew I might kill for Purple Rain!

Thanks again everyone and I'm so happy to be able to report the positive ending.

I should have taken his guitar and smashed him over the head with it Nah...I was just so thrilled to get it back!
