I recently made it "my business" to be sure and BE the high bidder (at another, much smaller, auction site) on a beat-up Mirafone 186-4U-CC, and the seller's description had mentioned the inscription of a well-known state university.

Before I sent any money, I insisted that they check with the university. Sure enough, in the mid-'90's that instrument had been stolen from the school. School officials went to the institution that was listing the tuba for sale and recovered their property.
