It's not just musicians who have had instruments lost. Last year Australian Federal Minister Tony Burke flew Qantas Airlines but ended up without his guitar. Australian newspaper reports said Burke's Cole Clark "Angel" acoustic guitar was somewhere between his trek between Melbourne and Sydney. Tweeting the guitar was lost, the airline was quick to reply that they had found the guitar in Melbourne. "The angel is flying home," Burke happily replied to the news. Burke also noted that the guitar was made with sustainable timber as he is the Federal Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities.
