It was reported that the intruder threatened Gaillard with a knife, forced her to give him the cello made by the master of musical instruments Francesco Goffriller in 1737.

The robber also stole the cellist's bow, made in 1825, and her mobile phone.

In her Facebook, Gaillard asked subscribers to help her find the cello.
