When a thief stole a homeless man's violin in Canada, a symphony of sympathy led to an orchestra replacing the beloved instrument.
Mark Landry woke up Tuesday morning to realize his violin was missing. The homeless man used it to play for tips outside the Montreal Metro, but without it, he was forced to sit silently, holding a sign in French announcing the theft and asking for donations to replace it.
